Fire Burns on White House Grounds

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A fire is burning at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building on the White House grounds.

Television images show firefighters breaking windows in offices where flames are clearly visible inside. Smoke is rising above the building.

"This is why we're fighting the terrorists," the president said at the scene. "Because a man's popcorn isn't even safe in a microwave oven."
