Video footage showed a vehicle ablaze in the car park outside the office and thick black smoke rising into the sky in the city, around 40 km (25 miles) from Turkey's eastern Mediterranean coast.
"Damned terror continues to target our people. We will fight with this terror to the end in the name of humanity," Celik wrote on Twitter, saying he had spoken to the Adana governor.
Ambulances were sent to the scene and the fire brigade was trying to extinguish the blaze, media reports said.
