As reported by the Daily Caller and shown in videos shared by co-host Whoopi Goldberg, the team had started filming and had just delved into the “Hot Topics” segment when they were informed that a fire had broken out in the neighboring building. The fire originated in a kitchen studio used for Tamron Hall’s cooking show.

“We walked out to Billy Joel’s hit ‘We Didn’t Start the Fire’ because it actually happened next door at Tamron Hall’s,” she said in the clip. “This morning we had to evacuate the studio, because there was a fire, that we did not start. We don’t know who started it, we don’t know what started it.”

Emergency services

On Instagram, Hall mentioned that some of her team needed assistance from emergency services, but assured her followers that “everyone is safe.” In a video clip where her show’s set was stripped down, Hall provided further details.
