Plastic from the sign's letters on fire dripped to the lower mezzanine level.
While the fire didn't spread to inside of the building, it's air handling system did suck in smoke, requiring the Houston Fire Department to ventilate it.
According to HFD, the building was closed, but one person was inside at the time.
