Monterey Carl’s Jr. to rebuild after fire, cause of fire undetermined
MONTEREY/PACIFIC GROVE, Calif. (KION-TV) -- Carl's Jr. will be rebuilt following the fire at their Lighthouse Avenue location between Pacific Grove and Monterey.
According to Monterey Fire, the cause of the fire was undetermined during their investigation due to the building being rendered a complete loss. Despite the undetermined cause, it appears the fire may have been accidental.
Yet, the origin was determined to have started in the attic. When the fire broke out on April 3, employees reportedly heard a loud bang noise coming from that area.
Carl's Jr is bringing an investigator and insurer to assess the damage estimated to cost between $1.5 to $2 million.
After the assessment takes place, the location will still be used as to house a new Carl's Jr in its place.
