A fire that destroyed several stands at the Bryant Park Holiday Market was accidental, fire officials said Friday afternoon.

According to FDNY fire marshals, the fire was caused by cooking oil coming in contact with combustibles.

Officials said one tent that hosted four separate businesses had been completely burned in the fire. The stands were completely charred from the fire.

The open-air market, which spans 40th to 42nd Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, hosts dozens of artisans from around the world.

LiveNOW's Andrew Craft received a live report on the fire from FOX 5 NY reporter Meredith Gorman.
