Fire In The Executive Office Building
Washington, DC firefighters are fighting a fire in the Executive Office Building near the White House. Reports say the fire may be located in or near the ceremonial office of Vice President Dick Cheney who was not in the building at the time.
The blaze appeared to be located near the ceremonial office of Vice President Dick Cheney on the second floor of the building. The vice president was across the street in his office in the West Wing of the White House.
Secret Service spokesman Darrin Blackford said the Old Executive Office building was evacuated as a precaution. District of Columbia firefighters poured water on the blaze and moved furniture from the building onto a balcony.
That would be what is referred to as the Old Executive Office Building, located to the west of the White House itself.
