The Ledo Restaurant sign caught fire at about 11 p.m., causing minor damage to the exterior of the restaurant, Prince George’s County Fire Department spokesman Mark Brady said.
The electrical fire started at the sign on top of the parking garage and embers fell onto an awning on the first floor. Firefighters extinguished the flames in about 10 minutes, said William Corrigan, College Park Volunteer Fire Department chief.
The sign, which was still steaming at about 11:40 p.m., had some of its letters burned away; Brady said there was smoke in the building. At least a dozen response vehicles were at the scene.
Prince George’s County Fire Department officials put the fire out before it caused any significant damage and no injuries were reported, Brady added.
Ledo’s sign caught fire last night, igniting a first floor awning. There were no injuries.
Firefighters spray water from atop the ladder of fire truck.
