Breaking: 2 firefighters confirmed dead after fire aboard ship in Port Newark. Watch live team coverage from JohnBDias and ZinniaDee_TV on the scene.
The fire broke out around 9:30 p.m. Wednesday on the 10th floor of the ship docked by Corbin and Marsh streets. Officials said multiple vehicles on the ship caught fire, then spread to the two floors above.
Officials confirmed two firefighters went missing, then reached out to other agencies for help, but they were eventually found and pronounced dead on the scene. "Unfortunately, we have a loss. This is a tragedy, something that I, as a chief, never wanted to express," added Fire Chief Rufus Jackson. Earlier this morning, there was a procession for the firefighters, which traveled from the port to a nearby hospital. Their identities have yet to be released, but they were both members of the Newark Fire Department.
