March 3 (UPI) -- A small fire broke out in a 47th floor apartment of New York's Trump International Hotel and Tower early Friday, fire officials said.

The fire in the 56-story building was confined to the single apartment, which was undergoing renovations. It was reported at 4:30 a.m. and was quickly extinguished by firefighters with the New York Fire Department. One person was injured but declined treatment. No evacuation of the building, which overlooks Manhattan's Columbus Circle, was reported.

The fire is believed to have been caused by an equipment malfunction and is not regarded as suspicious, the New York Post reported Friday. It added the apartment was sold last year for $6.9 million.

Trump International Hotel and Tower was built in 1996 and is not the building in which President Donald Trump maintains an office and residence.
