Authorities in Henderson say an exterior electrical sign malfunction sparked a fire that spread to the attic of an office building and caused nearly $250,000 in damage.
A Henderson fire spokeswoman says everyone got out of the building before firefighters arrived a little before 9 a.m. Wednesday to find smoke in the second floor of the two-story structure at Stephanie Street and Galleria Drive. That's near the Galleria at Sunset shopping center.
Officials credited a building sprinkler system with quelling flames until firefighters got into the attic to extinguish the fire.
Several offices sustained fire, water and smoke damage.
