CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — An early morning fire caused some damage to the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) building at N. Staples St., Mike Rendon with CCRTA told 3NEWS.
The fire was reported just after 8 a.m. in a second floor storage room. RTA officials were preparing for a board meeting when the fire began, Rendon said.
Corpus Christi Fire Department crews were on scene within five minutes, Rendon said, and had the fire put out shortly after.
The water sprinkler system did cause some damage to the building and it will be closed for the rest of the day Wednesday, Rendon said. All RTA employees have been told to work from home today.
There is no word on the cause of the fire at this time.
The Veterans Services and Social Services Offices within the building will be closed to walk-in clients until further notice. The offices will remain open remotely and can be reached at:
Veterans Services: (361-888-0820)

Individuals needing assistance can contact CCRTA through ccrta.org or via social media.
