Revision as of 07:18, 18 January 2024
Fireboats of New York City came to assistance of the Newark Fire Department because Newark's fireboats were not in working order.
The Grande Costa D’Avorio is an Italian freighter. She was built to simultaneously carry a deck cargo of Intermodal container and an internal cargo of automobiles or other road vehicles. She was launched in 2011. She survived a catastrophic fire, in Newark, New Jersey, on July 5, 2023.[1][2][3]
The US Coast Guard reported it took five days to finally extinguish the fire.[3] Commentators described how, with a fire this hot, firefighters could not fight the fire directly, and the best approach was to keep the vessel under a constant bombardment of water, in an attempt to cool the blaze. Firefighters directed so much water to the vessel it developed a list, and pumps had to be deployed to pump out that water.
