After Toronto firefighters put out the fire, the game resumed following a half-hour delay.
The remainder of the game was played without fans in the building.
The Toronto Star reported that Danger Boy, an Ontario corporation registered in Jerseyville, is named as the defendant in the suit, which was filed in late March.

The Star said a message to Danger Boy was not immediately answered.
An MLSE spokesperson told the Star that the lawsuit involves third-party companies and the company contracted to provide pyrotechnics for the Raptors game.
The Raptors went on to win the game 131-91 and some team employees, essential game operations workers and media were allowed to stay in the arena.
MLSE claimed that it “sustained extensive losses and damages, including the costs to inspect, clean, repair, rebuild and/or replace damages caused by the incident, and to rent the substitute equipment,” the outlet reported.
There were no injuries reported.
