WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Capitol complex was shut down temporarily on Monday out of an abundance of caution after a small fire broke out nearby, the U.S. Secret Service said, underscoring security jitters days before President-elect Joe Biden\u2019s inauguration.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no threat to the public,\u201d the Secret Service said in a tweet.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Capitol Police said in a statement that, in an abundance of caution following an external security threat near the Capitol, its acting chief ordered a shutdown of the complex.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are currently no fires on or within the Capitol campus,\u201d the statement said. \u201cMembers and staff were advised to shelter in place while the incident is being investigated.\u201d<\/p>\n

The lockdown follows the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol in Washington by Trump supporters, some of whom called for the death of Republican Vice President Mike Pence as he presided over the certification of Democrat Biden\u2019s November election victory.<\/p>\n

All participants in the rehearsal for Biden\u2019s inauguration, were evacuated into the building, and participants were being held in the Capitol rotunda and other indoor areas, according to a Reuters witness. Biden will be sworn in on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The city\u2019s fire department posted on Twitter that firefighters put out an outside fire near the Capitol complex.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were no injuries,\u201d the department said. \u201cThis accounts for smoke that many have seen.\u201d<\/p>\n
