Firefighters responded to a fire at JFK airport in the Queens borough of New York City on Monday.
Port Authority had a permit to burn trash in a barrel at terminal 3 during demolition–the terminal is currently closed–but someone saw the fire and called the FDNY, which was duty-bound to respond, a Port Authority spokesman told Epoch Times.
The Port Authority said that the fire was extinguished as of 5:20 p.m. and was also extinguished by the time the FDNY arrived.
The FDNY gained access to Terminal 3 through Terminal 8.
There was minimal impact on air and vehicular traffic, the spokesman for Port Authority said.
No one was injured.
