This story is just breaking but apparently a man in a scooter intentionally set his coat on fire. Security took him away from the White House North lawn grounds and moved him to Lafayette St. He was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
ALERT: Secret Service personnel are responding to a police/medical incident on Pennsylvania Ave. along the @WhiteHouse North Fence Line.
