The union says the City of Newark has 80 firefighter jobs currently unfilled.
Governor Phil Murphy says staffing should be increased, but he has not committed to providing state resources to make it happen."The fact this fire was aboard a ship made for a very complicated situation. Yet, our first responders adapted and rose to the occasion. Once again, they have proven we have the world's best firefighters and first responders and we all marvel at their skill and professionalism and courage," Murphy said.Two veteran Newark firefighters died fighting it.
Both services are happening at the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart, 89 Ridge Street, in Newark. The ship generally operates between the U.S. and West Africa. It carries more than 1,200 new and used vehicles and 157 containers. No electric cars or hazardous cargo were on the ship.
