Washington - D.C fire officials say two cars have caught fire at the Bolivian Embassy in Northwest Washington, but no one has been injured.
Fire Lt. Sean Egan says an embassy employee was jump-starting one of the cars when the fire broke out about 9:15 a.m. He says a mechanical problem with one of the cars could have sparked the blaze.
The cars were in a parking lot behind the embassy on Massachusetts Avenue at the time.
Egan says the building was evacuated temporarily as a precaution.
