Citizen App reported a kitchen fire at 560 Main Street.

Building residents reported on Roosevelt Island Instagram post:

• Fire at 576/560 main st, 4th floor. Looks like it has been contained.
• No one hurt! Firemen are gone don’t know where he tenants were taken, but thank God not as bad as fire 22 years ago!
• There was a kitchen fire. It was contained quickly.  

So there’s a fire in my building/the building right next door- dad told me to get outside and it’s freezing (but on the bright side, I can look at firefighters)…. I’m almost positive the entire FDNY is here #rooseveltisland @Rooseveltisland pic.twitter.com/iFqOCrFOhl

Apartment Fire @CitizenApp

560 Main St 7:16:28 PM EST

UPDATE 10:20 PM - More info from Roosevelt Islander Instagram comments:

• There was heavy smoke throughout the halls as well as seeping into apartments. Glad everyone is safe! 
• It was a stove fire in 560 on the 4th floor. We live next door to the apartment that caught fire and everything is ok here - just some water leaking into our apartment but nothing damaged. The building staff has done a great job cleaning it up and repairing our front door that’s the firefighters had to break to get in to make sure our apartment was ok.

UPDATE 1/17:

Incredible response from the @FDNY tonight on Roosevelt Island! Thank you! @Rooseveltisland @NY1 #ladder106 #ladder115 #engine262 #engine206 #fdny #nyc pic.twitter.com/fHT4kAcKrb
