Fire Breaks Out At New Kitchen Restaurant In Cedar Grove

CEDAR GROVE, NJ — A fire broke out at the New Kitchen Restaurant on Bowden Road Thursday afternoon.

Police got a report of a fire at the restaurant shortly before 2 p.m. and firefighters arrived shortly and worked on putting the fire out, said police Chief Joseph Cirasa.

The fire spread to the roof of the adjacent Lucy Dry Cleaners, but firefighters stopped the fire from spreading more, Cirasa said.

Authorities are investigating what caused the blaze, but it appears to be accidental, the chief said.

"The fire department with the assistance of the adjacent towns made a great stop," Cirasa said. "There are a number of attached business and this fire could have been far worse. Most importantly, there were no injuries reported."
