December, 19 2007A fire was put out quickly in the historic Eisenhower Executive Office Building today. This building houses the Vice Presidents ceremonial offices and most of the White House Staff. This building is right beside the White House.
The fire started at around 9:30 am and started right near Vice President offices. The blaze happened on the third floor and so far there are no injuries reported. The office building was evacuated and the fire could have started either in a telephone bank or an electrical closet.
I think events like this occur often and there is not much to do when something like this happen. There was minimal damage and no one was hurt so all in all this was not a bad thing.
