TL;DR Summary

Seventeen people sustained minor injuries after a small fire, caused by an individual setting papers ablaze, was quickly extinguished at the lower Manhattan courthouse hosting former President Donald Trump's civil fraud trial. The incident, which led to the evacuation of three floors, does not appear to be related to the trial. The injuries were primarily due to exposure to irritants from the fire extinguisher. Two individuals were taken to the hospital for observation, while the others refused medical attention. The person responsible for setting the fire is in custody, and the incident is under investigation.
