Toronto Fire officials say a two-alarm fire that broke out at a restaurant downtown is being investigated as “suspicious.”
Firefighters were called to Brant Street for reports of a fire Myth restaurant at around 4 a.m. Tuesday.
Toronto Fire platoon chief Kevin Shaw said crews found the outdoor patio of the restaurant engulfed in flames. Shaw said that the patio is destroyed.
“It’s very suspicious,” Shaw said. “There were a lot of things on the outside of the building that make it suspicious.”
Shaw would not elaborate further as the fire is still under investigation.
No injuries were reported and the fire was knocked down shortly after.
Myth Restaurant reached out to Global News and said they are “in shock and disbelief but also incredibly grateful that no one was injured as a result.”
“We know that the coming days and weeks will be challenging, but with the support of our team and our amazing community, rebuilding is on the horizon,” a spokesperson for the restaurant said.
Myth said it will remain closed until further notice.
