A fire broke out at Pace University on Sunday afternoon, officials said.

The flames started in an electrical room inside the basement of a building on Spruce Street between Gold and Nassau streets in Lower Manhattan around 3 p.m., authorities said.

Firefighters were called to the scene, and the FDNY said it is coordinating with Con Edison to cut power to the building so they can safely extinguish the blaze.

The fire was still active as of around 5 p.m.

The cause of the fire is not known.
