A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police Department told ABC News: “An adult male lit a fire and received burns. He was transported to a local hospital for treatment. The investigation is continuing.”

President-elect Donald Trump was not inside the hotel at the time, but was in the area for a dinner ahead of the inauguration.
