4 Fires Break Out in Bathrooms
Four suspicious small fires broke out in bathroom trash cans in two Senate office buildings yesterday, authorities said.
No one was injured in the fires, which were quickly extinguished, said Sgt. Kimberly Schneider of the U.S. Capitol Police.
Two fires burned in the Dirksen building and one in the Hart building between 10:45 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. About 2 p.m., another blaze broke out in Dirksen, Schneider said. Authorities are trying to determine if the fires are linked.
