“We do not know the cause of the fire at this time, as we were closed for business and no one was in the building,” Tasty Burger said in the statement. “Most importantly, and our biggest concern right now, is that no one was hurt, and we are truly grateful for this. Additionally, the adjacent buildings were not damaged. Our gratitude goes out to the Boston Fire Department, who responded quickly to the fire, and to the Boston Police Department who aided the response.”
