Incident Updates from the Incident are on my twitter @samzack ... As seen in the IA the Abis Japanese Restaurant had a fire that started in the kitchen. Fire was pretty much knocked down upon my arrival, a police officer stated that flames were coming from the vents on the roof, and the fire extended into an interior wall, which after 45 minutes or so, was under control.

I have more shots but they're mainly of apparatus on scene.

Nice! But, wasn't the former Car 5 pretty new?

I was surprised myself that it was replaced, but I guess after the DCs rushing around town all the time, it wears out. Or it may have had a mechanical issue. No clue as to why they got the new one. My guess is just from use, the former Car 5 was worn out.

Newly acquired, (I didn't see a post regarding this unit, my apologies if it's been posted elsewhere) Deputy Chief's car for Greenwich, CT Fire Department, aka "Car 5".

This was on scene at the Mason Street fire this evening.
