PITTSFIELD, Mass. — A fire in the parking lot of B&G Restaurant Supply on Friday night is being investigated as arson. 

 

Three trucks responded to Eagle Street building around 10:15 p.m., said Deputy Chief Neil Myers. 

 

"B&G Restaurant Supply came in as a possible structure fire," he said. "The first units on the scene found a large, basically a pile of brand-new ovens on fire in the parking lot."

 

Seven ovens were damaged, with an estimated value of $50,000. The fire was extinguished in about five minutes, and there were no injuries. 

 

Myers said the cause of the fire is unknown, but it is considered suspicious as there were no ignition sources. 

 

The blaze did not cause damage to the building but sent heavy smoke into the air. Pearl Street was closed to traffic. 

 

Responding units included Engine Three, Car Two, the truck company, Engine One, and Engine Six.
