GARWOOD, NJ — Garwood's Fusion D'lite is closed indefinitely after a fire broke out at the Asian sushi restaurant early Thursday morning.

"We regret to inform you that our restaurant fell victim to a fire in the early morning. Thankfully no one was hurt, nor were any surrounding buildings or businesses affected by the fire, but Fusion D will be closed indefinitely while we work through this tragedy," Fusion D'lite stated on its Facebook page.

Garwood Firefighters went to the restaurant at 348 North Ave. around 3:10 a.m. at where they could hear alarms sounding as well as see smoke when they arrived, Garwood Fire Department said.
