Two Senate office buildings have been evacuated because of smoke, according to a Senate memo. The cause was a small electrical fire in an air intake unit, according to NBC's Chip Reid.

The two buildings were the Senate Dirksen Building and the Hart Building; the fire started in the Dirksen Building, NBC reported. No other information was immediately available.

This is a breaking news story and will be updated.

July 25, 2007 (WASHINGTON) - Two Senate office buildings were evacuated Wednesday because of the smell of smoke.

Fire officials had been called to the Dirksen and Hart buildings, according to a law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Capitol officials were investigating whether the smoke was coming from the roof of the Dirksen building, the official said.

34. Update: All-clear given

Two US Senate Office Buildings Evacuated
U.S. Capitol Police ordered the evacuation of two U.S. Senate office buildings on Wednesday after a fire alarm sounded.

Two U.S. Capitol office buildings were briefly evacuated on Wednesday because of a fire alarm and the smell of smoke, authorities said.

<snip>

Within minutes, congressional staffers were permitted to return after authorities gave an all clear signal.

Police halted traffic on the street outside the two buildings, located across the street from the Capitol where the Senate and House of Representatives were both in session.

A spokeswoman for Capitol Police said initial findings suggested the source of the smoke may have been an electrical problem.

Meanwhile, I bet that Republican operatives dressed as Firemen rifled through the files and computers of Democratic senators.
