Tossed Cigarette Caused Lakeview Pavillion Blaze, Report Says
The huge fire rendered the venue a total loss.
An improperly discarded cigarette caused a huge blaze in April that destroyed the Lakeview Pavillion wedding venue in Foxborough, according to a new report.
The Sun Chronicle reported the Foxborough Fire Department made the determination this week.
The 3-alarm fire last month broke out while a wedding was happening at the facility, completely destroying the popular wedding venue, leaving it a total loss.
It was unclear who the cigarette belonged too.
Original reports said they believed the fire may have started outside the venue after employees said flames were coming from mulch recently put down on the property.
The owners have said they are planning on rebuilding the venue.
