UPDATE: Deadly cargo ship fire in Port Newark that claimed the lives of two firefighters continues to burn more than 36 hours since it broke out; 'could burn for a couple more days,' officials said during a Friday morning press conference.
Torres saw Brooks, who everyone on the block lovingly called"Bear" on that same day Wednesday. The weight of the loss has not yet settled in, he said.Mayor Ras Baraka and other city dignitaries were seen at Acabou's Newark home to express their condolences and console his family, while his neighbors were still in shock.
Brooks' uncle went on to share how he was No. 1 in his firefighter class and was a tremendous athlete who was one of the top fencers in the state when he graduated from St. Benedict's Prep in Newark. Henriques went on to say how Auggie maintained a special bond with a high school mentor -- an assistant football coach -- who was battling cancer, running errands and providing support for him. The family only learned about this selfless act this week.
Michael Giunta, president of the Newark Firefighters Union, went on to also say that just like Brooks, Acabou was very dedicated to his family -- a dedicated brother, uncle, and son who lived in the same house as his mother and father."Auggie was all about the family," Paulo said."Auggie, you could find him at any family cookout, any family affair. He would do everything he can to attend. Auggie was an amazing friend, an amazing colleague. The guy that walked away from any drama.
According to Newark Fire Chief Rufus Jackson, the fire was found on the 10th floor of the ship where five or seven vehicles were fully engulfed. It quickly extended to the 11th and 12th floors. The fire became so intense that numerous rescue companies were called to assist, Rufus said during a press conference, adding that several specialized rescue companies throughout New Jersey and the state of New York came and assisted with primary and secondary searches to try to locate the unaccounted for firefighters, which were eventually found and removed from the structure.
