Fire at Ashland restaurant ruled arson

The Massachusetts Fire Marshal’s Office said Wednesday the fire at the Fusion Cuisine restaurant in Ashland early Wednesday morning was set intentionally. 

The fire — which caused minimal damage — broke out in the restaurant just after 5 a.m. 

The restaurant opened less than a year ago under new ownership. Its liquor license was revoked in 2015 after a woman was served alcohol and later crashed her vehicle, according to the Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission.
