NEW CASTLE, New York — A bathroom fan caused the fire that burned part of a building on Bill and Hillary Clinton's New York property on Wednesday.
"Apparently a bathroom fan shorted out," New Castle Town Supervisor Robert Greenstein said in a Friday email.
He said the small fire burned a hole in the bathroom ceiling of the facility, which is used by the Secret Service, at 15 Old House Lane, in Chappaqua, N.Y. The Chappaqua Fire Department declined to comment.
Fire extinguishers were used to put out the fire in the second-floor ceiling of the detached structure behind the Clintons' home, the Secret Service said in a statement on Wednesday.
The fire was reported around 2:40 p.m. and was quickly extinguished. Nick Merrill, a spokesman for former presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, tweeted on Wednesday that the couple was not home at the time.
Former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton have lived at the property for almost 20 years after buying the five-bedroom home for $1.7 million in 1999. In August 2016, the couple bought the four-bedroom house next door, at 33 Old House Lane, for $1.16 million.
In October, the town building inspector found that the Clintons were missing several permits for work that was being done on a kitchen renovation and in-ground pool on the property.
