A small fire broke out at Hillary and Bill Clinton's property in New York and was quickly extinguished yesterday afternoon, according to local reports and a spokesman.
Calls for the fire came in around 2.50pm at the property in Chappaqua, where the couple have lived since they bought a homethere in 1999, according to the Journal News.
It was put out about 3.15pm, according to the Associated Press. No one was injured in the blaze, which reportedly broke out in a bedroom.
At least three fire engines and an ambulance responded to an emergency call from the house, the Journal News reported.

Hillary Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill said the fire broke out in a building on the property that is used by the Secret Service, which is separate from the home. The Clintons were not around at the time, he said.
"All is ok!" He tweeted.
Hillary Clinton speaks to the media in front of the house shortly after they bought it in 1999.
The five-bedroom house on the .5ha property was built in 1889. In August 2016, the Clintons bought a four-bedroom home next door.
