NEW YORK (AP) — Shoppers are being allowed to return to Macy's flagship store in New York City after a brief evacuation over a fire in a loading dock trash receptacle.

The Fire Department of New York says no injuries were reported.

The blaze started around noon Friday on the West 35th Street side of the building. Firefighters left roughly an hour later.

The store in Herald Square covers an entire city block.
