The governor said talk of a firefighting unit specifically for the Port of New York and New Jersey 'makes sense'
“The ship’s listing has been reduced,” Murphy said, referring to a sideways tilt. “It is now approximately two degrees. The danger zone is five to six degrees. We continue to monitor the air quality and are testing the water quality as well.”
Quoting President Abraham Lincoln, Murphy said Acabou and Brooks had demonstrated “‘the last full measure of devotion.’ Please keep their memory and their families in your prayers. And may God watch over not just their families, but all of our first responders and firefighters.” “According to the city’s budget, the Newark Fire Division has 80 unfilled firefighter positions — and even that fails to meet the industry standard set by the National Fire Protection Association ,” the statement read.
A spokesperson for the Newark Department of Public Safety, which includes the fire division, did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday.
