Crews said that the fire was limited to the contents of the room and did not make it into the structure itself. Reports said that there was fire and water damage in one room, some smoke damage throughout.

The Fire Marshal Division is investigating the cause.

The fire department noted that the spread of the fire was constrained by the fact that both doors to the office were closed. Officials said if you should encounter a fire in a structure, closing doors behind you as you evacuate can help stop the spread of the fire.
