The building is currently under construction and is being built to replace the twin towers that collapsed in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Immediately after the fire broke out, nearly 100 firefighters were mobilized to the scene and the fire was controlled about an hour later.
There are currently no reports of casualties or damage caused by the fire.
Since the terrorist attack that shocked the world in 2001 that killed nearly 3,000 people, security has always been enhanced and tightened at the new World Trade Center area in the US./.
