CFD public information officer Carol Henke said crews were able to bring the fire quickly under control.
She said fire damage was limited to the suite where it started, but other suites received water damage because the fire activated the building’s sprinkler system.
Roadways in the area of Eighth Avenue and Tenth Street Southwest were temporarily closed to traffic to allow fire crews to fight the fire.
