The fire at Ottawa’s historic ByWard Market was “accidental and preventable,” Ottawa Fire Service Chief Kim Ayotte told CTV Ottawa.

Published Tuesday, April 16, 2019 3:12PM EDT

Ayotte said he wouldn’t elaborate because the case could end up in court. He also added the fire department officials now think the initial damage estimate was too low. Although there were no injuries or loss of life, restaurant employees at the scene on Monday were at a loss of words. Restaurant owner Domenic Santaguida said they’re looking for “places to open up in the short-term. Somewhere else in the city.” He said he was driven by the fact there were 40 or more families who depend on the eatery for their livelihood.
