ABC show joins Hall of flame

-

FIRETRUCKS rushed to Tamron Hall’s daytime show to put out a fire yesterday, one day after she experience­d a health episode and staffers called an ambulance to set.

We’re told the production was prepping for a food segment when the kitchen went up in flames, forcing Hall and her staff — plus her live studio audience — to evacuate the facility at West 66th Street.

“They evacuated everyone!” a source exclaimed to Page Six.

Hall — in Season 5 of her eponymous show — explained the situation on her Instagram Stories, which captured security shepherdin­g people outside and firemen coming to the rescue.

“So, it is an hour before our live show and we had to evacuate from a fire in the kitchen,” Hall said from the scene, in hair and makeup and wearing what looked like a robe under a coat. “We’re all out here, the whole team . . . I feel like I’m back in my reporting days.”

It all happened after an ambulance was called for Hall on Tuesday when she was shooting her second show of the day, we’re told.

A rep for Hall did not comment on the undisclose­d medical emergency, but a source told us she was checked out by an ABC doctor and nurse at the company.

Hall was back the next day, before the grease fire forced her to air a rerun.

She did update the episode to include a live monologue. “We are not able to air the show that was scheduled today . . . Everybody’s OK!” she said before teasing what they had prepared for the day’s episode. “We planned to start the show with a viral video of Lenny Kravitz . . . Well, we had a real smoke show around here!” she quipped.

Hall’s neighbors at “The View,” which airs live after her show, were also evacuated, but they were able to do their show. The ladies even ditched their theme song. “We walked to Billy Joel’s hit ‘We Didn’t Start the Fire,’ because it actually happened next door at Tamron Hall’s studio,” Whoopi Goldberg said.
