Second fire of the day out in Round Rock
A fire that ignited in a Round Rock office building this afternoon is out, Round Rock spokesman Will Hampton said.
The fire, in an office building still under construction in the 1100 block of Louis Henna Drive, was accidentally started by a welder working on the roof, Hampton said.
“Guys were able to get up there and put it out within a half hour,” he said.
Damage is estimated at $50,000.
The fire was the second to spark in Round Rock Friday. A fire Friday morning destroyed the office of an automotive business in the 1800 block of Interstate 25 North. Damage is estimated at $25,000.
There were no injuries in either fire.
