A fire aboard a cargo ship docked in Newark, New Jersey, has been contained, three days after two firefighters died while battling the raging blaze.
The motor vessel Grande Costa D’Avorio is shown from an unmanned aircraft systems perspective of firefighting efforts from a Unified Command in attempts to extinguish the fire aboard the ship at Port Newark, New Jersey, July 8, 2023.
Capt. Zeita Merchant, the captain of the port of New York and New Jersey and federal on-scene coordinator, said in a statement that there remains "significant work to do, and challenges ahead," though noted that responders made "considerable progress overnight." At 10:25 p.m., the firefighters called a "Mayday" after two of their own became trapped inside the burning vessel and were nowhere to be seen. That was followed by a second "Mayday" call 15 minutes later, city officials said.
