A fire broke out late Monday at a small structure near the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

Initial accounts indicated that the structure was a booth used by Vietnam veterans and supporters concerned about those believed missing in action or prisoners of war.

The fire apparently destroyed the small booth, according to preliminary reports. The booth is at the west end of the Mall area, within sight of the Lincoln Memorial.
