“The corporate offices of Hachette Filipacchi Media, the owner of Elle magazine, were evacuated yesterday after a fire broke out in an elevator,” reports the NY Sun. “Three floors of the building were evacuated, according to a spokeswoman for Hachette Filipacchi, including the company’s corporate offices on the 45th floor.”

Fire department officials said the fire was caused by “rubbish in a freight elevator,” or as Elle EIC Roberta Meyers calls it, “the September issue.”
