Firefighters said they are fighting the fire from the water and the port. Officials say it will likely burn for days.
“As the investigations unfold, and we get lessons learned from this, everything is on the table for consideration,” Beth Rooney, port director with the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, said during a press conference in Elizabeth on Friday.
Newark officials said the fire got out of hand because the initial efforts to contain it were begun with small diameter hoses that could not bring enough water to the decks where the fire was already raging. When asked to confirm the discrepancy in the fire hose connection on Friday, Merchant said “that is currently a part of our investigation.”
The Port Authority said that at all non-airport facilities, firefighting is handled by the local municipality with jurisdictional responsibility. “That is training that is done here in this area locally, as well as throughout the New York and New Jersey area so that training is done regularly from a federal standpoint and then they also conduct their training at a state and local level.”
“It is clear we are dealing with an extremely difficult set of circumstances aboard a very large cargo ship,” Murphy said atThe ship was listing 3 degrees toward the dock on Friday, Murphy said. A shift of 5 to 6 degrees is “the danger zone,” he said.
