Fire,Bryant Park,Holiday Market

A fire caused by cooking oil erupted at a stall in Bryant Park's holiday market on Friday morning. The blaze, which originated around 9:20 a.m., sent thick black smoke billowing over Manhattan. While the fire was accidental and contained, it caused significant damage to the stall and minor heat impingement on nearby structures. The market has since reopened with most stalls operational.
