WASHINGTON, DC -- Fire crews in Washington, D.C. put out a fire in the basement of a historic church.
The fire was at St. John's Episcopal Church at Lafayette Square near the White House. It's unclear what sort of damage the fire caused.
Protesters set the fire during demonstrations over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
