Roseland Ballroom will be open as of tomorrow, according to a woman who just answered the phone there. Last night the venue caught fire, and while there were no shows happening and the building was vacant, the FDNY's Frank Dwyer tells us that seven firefighters were injured while battling the flames (all with minor non-life threatening injuries). He added that the cause remains under investigation by the FDNY Fire Marshals.

The fire began at the mezzanine section, with a first call coming in to the FDNY at 10:28 p.m. (they arrived by 10:31 p.m.); by 11:46 the fire was brought under control. CNN has some raw footage from the scene last night.

If you go to the Dropkick Murphys' show tomorrow, let us know if it still smells like burning in there!
