The fire damaged both the inside and outside of the building. No injuries were reported.
Crews have closed North Nevada Avenue between Eagle Rock Road and Austin Bluffs Parkway for the emergency response.
CSFD's investigation into the cause of the fire discovered it was an unintentional cause started by an electrical malfunction within a neon transformer, the device that increases the voltage to send electricity to power a neon sign.
