Fire Destroys Cargo Ship in New Jersey, Killing Two Brave Firefighters

Two Newark firefighters tragically lost their lives battling a massive blaze that engulfed a cargo ship carrying thousands of vehicles at Port Newark.
The fire started deep within the ship and quickly spread across multiple decks, forcing firefighters to retreat in the face of intense heat and smoke.
Additional fire companies from across New Jersey were called in to help search for the missing firefighters, who were eventually recovered from the ship.
Newark officials paid tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of the fallen firefighters, who perished while confronting a type of fire their department rarely encounters.
The cause of the devastating fire, which caused severe damage to the cargo vessel, remains under investigation by authorities.
