A spokesperson for the restaurant told People magazine that the fire was caused by “a defective fire pit on the bottom of it. Firefighters were quick to reach and put out the flames and Mark’s restaurant was back to serving after an hour the fire broke.

The CEO of Wahlburgers, Randy Sharpe revealed to the Las Vegas Review-Journal that the fire “was very minor.”

“The whole front of the building has reflective windows, so it made it look pretty spectacular, but not in a good way,” he noted

Flecha Cantina started serving the public on September 14 while Wahlberg was expected to perform the ribbon cut ceremony of the restaurant a day after it caught fire as per People.
