Fire breaks out at Citi Field while Mets are away

The Mets are heating up!

Some 60 firefighters rushed to Citi Field Wednesday — after flames erupted in a display case in the rotunda near the parking garage.

The case caught fire at around 3:45 p.m., officials said. But sprinklers were automatically activated and the flames were extinguished before FDNY even arrived, officials said.

The cause is under investigation. The Mets are currently on a road trip in Atlanta.
