A Clinton Indiana campaign office was engulfed in flames Friday morning.
TERRE HAUTE, Indiana (AP) – Firefighters are investigating a blaze that destroyed the presidential campaign office of Hillary Clinton in Terre Haute.
The fire broke out after midnight Friday, and flames were coming from the building when firefighters arrived. No one was reported injured.
Homeland security spokeswoman Pam Bright said an investigator from the state fire marshal's office is heading to the scene.
Clinton is battling Illinois Sen. Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination. Both candidates have set up offices throughout Indiana as they vie for the state's 72 delegates in the May 6 primary.
Clinton's campaign had no immediate comment. Two calls to the Terre Haute Fire Department spokesman were not immediately returned.
UPDATE:
Clinton spokesman Mo Elleithee tells CNN's Suzanne Mavleaux state fire marshals are investigating the cause and "no one was hurt."
Clinton spokesman Isaac Baker also said, "we’re grateful no one was hurt and we’re cooperating fully with investigators."
Clinton has set up offices 21 offices to date in Indiana, announcing just yesterday new offices in Kokomo, Lafayete and Marion.
