British police on Monday were investigating an overnight fire at the London house where Prime Minister Keir Starmer lived before he was elected to lead the country.

Since taking office in July, Starmer has lived in the prime minister’s official Downing Street residence, renting out the family home in the Kentish Town neighborhood.

London Fire Brigade said firefighters were called to “a small fire” just after 1 a.m. (midnight GMT, 8 p.m. EDT). Two engines responded, and the blaze was out within half an hour.

The Metropolitan Police force said that officers who responded to the scene found damage “to the property’s entrance,” but that nobody was hurt. “The fire is being investigated and cordons remain in place while enquiries continue,” the police force said.

Starmer’s house has attracted protesters in the past. Last year three pro-************ activists were arrested and charged with public order offenses after unfurling a banner covered in red handprints outside the building.

Starmer’s spokesman, Dave Pares, said “the prime minister thanks the emergency services for their work.”

He said the fire “is subject to a live investigation, so I can’t comment any further.”
