A blaze broke out at the upstate New York property of Bill and Hillary Clinton Wednesday, according to authorities.
Firefighters were called to the Clinton’s Chappaqua, N.Y., property after reports of flames emanating from the second floor of a Secret Service facility behind the house, a Secret Service spokesman said.
Crews had extinguished the fire by 3:17 p.m. local time without any injuries, per Sgt. Arthur Mendoza of the New Castle Police Department.
The Clintons were not home at the time of the incident, Hillary Clinton communications director Nick Merrill tweeted.
“All is OK!” Merrill wrote.
This report is wrong, & creating much hysteria.
Yes, a small fire broke out in the @SecretService facility today on Clinton property, in a building not connected to their home. Fire was put out, local FD responded. The Clintons were not home.
