Though the cause of the fire has yet to be determined, according to a Boston Fire Department Fire Investigation Unit X post, the unit is taking charge of the investigation to pinpoint the source of the conflagration. Malone, standing near the still-smoldering remnants, made the statement: 'Detail companies will remain to monitor any hot spots."
