The Statue of Liberty and Liberty Island are open again after about 3,000 people were evacuated because of a construction fire.

Park spokesman Jerry Willis says regular ferry service to the island resumed around 2 p.m. on Monday.

Willis says a construction worker was treated at the scene for a minor injury after the fire started at a propane tank about two hours earlier.

It happened in an area where a security screening building is being constructed as part of a new museum on the island. Three propane canisters caught fire.

The FDNY was able to quickly put the fire out.

The fire was about 100 to 200 yards away from the statue, according to officials.

No visitors were injured.
