Firefighters and other responders had been working to suppress the fire since Wednesday night, pumping water from Newark Bay onto the towering ship and its load of 1,200 vehicles. The persistence of the fire led to speculation that some of the cars on board were electric vehicles with lithium ion batteries. But Beth Rooney, the port director, said that the ship’s manifest indicated that there were no electric vehicles on it. She said that the ship had carried new electric vehicles to Baltimore before arriving in Newark, where it took on a load of “previously owned vehicles” bound for West Africa. Two Newark firefighters, Augusto Acabou, 45, and Wayne Brooks Jr., 49, died trying to knock the blaze down.

☆ 2 Newark Firefighters Brought Years of Service to Their Final Fire

When flames raced through a huge cargo ship in Port Newark in New Jersey on Wednesday, it was not some specialized nautical team that ventured into its blazing upper decks. It was city firefighters, whose last job might have been rushing to a burning house or fallen wires, or treating someone with chest pains or helping a woman in labor. “Regular guys” — that’s what people often call firefighters who perish on the job. Two men from Newark, Augusto Acabou, 45, known as Augie, and Wayne Brooks Jr., 49, ran onto that burning ship and didn’t come back. Both regular guys, yes, but each specifically exceptional.
