"White House Targeted in Swatting Incident with False Fire Call"

A person falsely called 911 to report a fire at the White House, prompting a response from the D.C. Fire and EMS Department, but it was determined to be a false alarm. This incident is reminiscent of recent "swatting" attacks targeting public officials, including judges and lawmakers. President Joe Biden was not at the White House at the time, and the Secret Service confirmed there was no fire. The FBI has established a national database to track such swatting events.
