UPPER EAST SIDE, Manhattan (WABC) -- A fire broke out inside an Upper East Side hotel on Wednesday and the FBI is now involved in the investigation.

The FBI's New York Field office is working to determine whether the fire at the Sherry-Netherland Hotel is linked to the Wednesday morning arrest of exiled Chinese businessman Guo Wengui, multiple law enforcement sources told ABC News.

Guo was arrested at 6 a.m. at his $32 million apartment in the building on Fifth Avenue at 60th Street.

Firefighters were called just after noon for a fire on the 18th floor, according to the FDNY.

FBI agents were still inside Guo's apartment at the time the fire broke out at 12:02 p.m., multiple law enforcement sources told ABC News. That's about six hours after Guo was arrested...

If it's a coincidence it's a pretty freaky one.

2. Right.... Just like all those Russians "fell" out of windows, this fire "broke out."
