The Associated Press contributed to this report.
ABC News' Ann Compton, Jon Garcia, Jonathan Karl, and Karen Travers Report: Thick, grey smoke billowed from a fire Wednesday on the White House compound in or near Vice President Dick Cheney's ceremonial office in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
District of Columbia firefighters broke though the bullet-proof windows and could be seen pouring water on the blaze Wednesday morning and moving furniture from the building onto a balcony.
The Secret Service said the fire started on the second floor, but was quickly contained by firefighters. Officials evacuated the entire five-story office building as a precaution.
