The New York Fire Department said it received a call reporting an explosion at 5:56 p.m.
More than 170 firefighters have been dispatched to the site at Lexington Avenue near 41st Street.
No injuries were reported, according to New York Office of Emergency Management.
Subway lines near the explosion have been rerouted to alternate lines bypassing the Grand Central station stop, according to the Metropolitan Transit Authority.

some people have been saying its a terrorist attack which i think is BS since there were no injuries and it was just water that exploded and turned into fire somehow, steam is very hot and dangerous
