NEW YORK (AP) — Firefighters battled a two-alarm fire at the Roseland Ballroom in Manhattan late Tuesday night.

Fire officials say the blaze was reported at about 10:30 p.m. in the mezzanine level. The fire was declared under control at 11:46 p.m. Six firefighters suffered minor injuries. No other injuries were reported.

The concert hall’s website showed no events listed for Tuesday night.

The venue on West 52nd Street has hosted a variety of events, from Hillary Clinton’s birthday party to concerts and movie premiers.

The extent of the damage was not immediately clear.
