Austin fire officials say the fire broke out after 8 a.m. after a type of electric plating was left on a stove.

Sprinklers immediately contained the blaze. Firefighters sprayed a powdered-chemical as a precaution, but they say the plating material was not hazardous.

About 10 to 15 people inside the building evacuated. No one was hurt.

Firefighters worked to ventilate the building.
