A fire that caused significant damage to a downtown restaurant on Tuesday morning appears to be suspicious, officials say.
Crews were first called to Myth restaurant near King Street and Spadina Avenue just before 5 a.m. for a two-alarm fire.
Platoon Chief Kevin Shaw told reporters at the scene that a patio located at the rear of three-storey building was “fully involved” by the time firefighters arrived.Within about an hour, crews were able to get the blaze under control.“Had the sprinklers not activated it would be a different situation here. But our crews did a good job knocking down the fire. There was a lot of hidden fire between the floor joists,” Shaw said. “It is suspicious, that is all I will say.
The blaze, Shaw said, eventually spread to some vacant office space on the second floor but was mostly contained to the “back half if the building.”No estimate has been provided for the total value of the damage to the building.
