The cause of the fire is currently under investigation. Some of the affected stalls were food vendors. Photos from the scene show firefighters tackling the fire amidst the market's wooden stalls.

The Bryant Park Winter Village is a significant holiday attraction, drawing many tourists between Times Square and Grand Central Terminal. This incident follows a similar fire at a Herald Square holiday market just two weeks prior, which was attributed to an electrical fault.

This recent incident raises concerns about fire safety at holiday markets across the city. The quick response from the fire department prevented more extensive damage and ensured no one was injured. The investigation into the cause of the fire is ongoing.
