A fire that broke out at the W.B. Mason warehouse in Boston on Sunday morning caused an estimated $1 million in damages.

The costly fire broke out at around 10:30 a.m. on May 4, according to the Boston Fire Department.

Heavy smoke could be seen coming from the W.B. Mason warehouse — located at 647 Summer St. in South Boston — when firefighters arrived, and a second alarm was ordered, the department said.

Firefighters attacked the blaze inside the building and outside with ladders, Boston Fire Deputy Chief Martin McCormack said. No injuries were reported from the incident.

However, damages from the fire were at an estimated $1 million, McCormack said.

The department began to clear the scene by noon, with some firefighters remaining on the scene to monitor hotspots. The investigation into the cause of the fire was ongoing as of Sunday afternoon.
