 Breaking: Cars, Buildings on Fire Near White House as Protests Rage

Multiple fires have broken out near the White House in Washington, D.C. kate Saturday night. A car was set on fore earlier. Later a large building fire was burning near the Hay Adams hotel a block north of the White House. Around the corner two restaurants were set on fire. A passerby told WJLA TV that he grabbed a fire extinguisher and put out the fire at the Oval Room restaurant.

A few minutes earlier the WJLA reporter was reporting on the Tea House restaurant being broken into when he saw a fire growing in a back room.

A D.C. fireman told the WJLA reporter the fire was mainly construction scaffolding and did not spread to the Hay Adams or other nearby buildings.

The latest in downtown DC: Cops had to seize 16th between H and Eye to control the fires. With the authorities tied up there — and still guarding Lafayette — crowds took off west down H, tagging everything in sight and shattering storefronts of restaurants and hotels. #DCProtestspic.twitter.com/vSwnfHOLqR
