New Haven 2nd alarm Abate’s Pizza 129 Wooster St.
05/11/23 New Haven, CT – New Haven firefighters received reports of fire from the roof of a commercial building, and arriving units found heavy smoke issuing from a one-story restaurant. Companies were met with a heavy fire condition in the cockloft. Engine companies quickly stretched two and a half inch hand lines, which were operated in a coordinated effort with truck companies for ventilation. This resulted in the fire being knocked down in about fifteen minutes. The cause of the fire is being investigated by the fire marshal’s office.
