Living in the District blogger Farrelly has just tweeted that there’s a fire at the Madison Building at the Library of Congress. We’re trying to track down information, but if you know anything please let us know in the comments?
Update: Many Thanks to Sam Masten at LOC for his update: “The Madison Building has been evacuated because there was a fire in a trash can on the Ground floor which may have been set. Because of the weather outside people are going to be directed to come into the Jefferson and Adams so be prepared.”
I live and work in the District of Columbia. I write at We Love DC, a blog I helped start, I work at Technolutionary, a company I helped start, and I’m happy doing both. I enjoy watching baseball, cooking, and gardening. I grow a mean pepper, keep a clean scorebook, and wash the dishes when I’m done. Read Why I Love DC.

We will be providing additional information to Library staff, but at this time it does not appear to have been “set” intentionally.
