by

As a dedicated follower of Mark Wahlberg’s career and personal life, I must say that this Las Vegas restaurant incident has only added to his resilience and determination. The fire at Flecha Cantina, just a day before its grand opening, could have been disheartening for anyone, but not for our man Wahlberg. He’s proven time and again that he can weather any storm, be it on the big screen or in the kitchen.

The day prior to its grand opening, Mark Wahlberg’s Las Vegas eatery Flecha Cantina encountered a fire. According to reports to PEOPLE, the blaze started on November 6 when a malfunctioning outdoor fireplace ignited from below. Nevertheless, as stated by the restaurant representative, the fire department arrived promptly and successfully extinguished the flames.

The interior of the restaurant remained completely undamaged, but unfortunately, the fire pit and a chair near it were harmed in an incident. Fortunately, no one was hurt during this occurrence. Unfortunately, this unfortunate event transpired the evening prior to Mark Wahlberg’s scheduled grand opening for the restaurant, which included a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Remarkably, despite the setback, the opening will proceed as planned.

At 5:30 pm, according to a press release shared with PEOPLE, the Fire Department in Clark County received word about a fire that had spread to the outdoor dining area (patio) of a restaurant. When the firefighters arrived on the scene, the sprinkler system was set off and the venue was quickly evacuated. The Fire Department later confirmed that the blaze didn’t penetrate into the building’s interior.

As per the security camera recordings, the fire originated within the core mechanisms of the fireplace itself. Firefighters managed to control the blaze sufficiently to turn off the propane tanks that were powering the fireplace. The representative later affirmed that the sprinkler system was reactivated by the fire protection company and the restaurant resumed operations at 7 pm.

The Las Vegas eatery is a unique Mexican fusion restaurant offering creative spins on traditional dishes, according to a recent announcement. In 2022, Mark Wahlberg and his wife Rhea Durham, along with their four children, relocated to the city to further his acting ambitions. During an interview with PEOPLE magazine, he disclosed the reasons behind their move.

He mentioned, “This is a spot that allows my children to flourish, express themselves, and chase their passions.” Further, he explained, “The chance to offer my kids a superior lifestyle and help them chase their aspirations…it resonated strongly with our family’s values.
