  1. This is how the insurance industry goes down. Lots of big hits all at once.

  2. maybe? try put the faka water on the faka fire…. duh duh duh

  3. Well you probably should be training on these kind of fires, if you have a port.. good job ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

  4. The idea of a car fuel by high combustible battery is absurd.1 the electric grid is not powerful enough to be used to charge high combustible batteries, homes and othe power electric plants. The democrats are insane trying to ban gas and crude oil to fuel the world. 1 car is burns, the car with the battery to operats that car.

  5. If look closly one car is on fire and that car is an electric car

  6. The idea of electric cars is a bad idea. This is one example

  7. The ship is sinking because of the water and the fire on the ship What started that fire?

  8. Praying for the families of those brave fire fighters. Praying they get it put out without any more loss or injury.

  9. has to be trudildeau's climate change that started this fire

  10. Get a forklift and push all the EVS off into the ocean damned electric cars Americans need to rebel and refuse to buy them.

  11. What about "Halon" Fire Extinguisher capsules implanted in center of ship to rob oxygen from the fires itself…?!

  12. Gee…I suppose now would be a good time for the lady to show us how empowered they are as fire fighters….> anyone ? > ANY ONE ?
    So much for equal RIGHTS

  13. Let the police that are on the Brady list fight the fire.

  14. Get a plane that delivers water or fire chemicals that put fires out.

  15. EV car fires are impossible to put out. They have to burn out before they will stop.

  16. You missed the fire

  17. Big port in Newark what do you mean firefighters not trained for a situation like that when you making 80k a year and call yourself a professional in you're field of work. I guess some departments skipped some training classes that could of saved lives .๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’›Slava Ukraine

  18. That's a damn shame to die over saving an insurance company money.

  19. And how many EVs started it????

  20. Eeeesh. First I've heard of this. Very sorry – condolences to family and friends. RIP.

  21. If it got cars it might be an EV fire. that could take for days. those cars just keep on burning.

  22. As we now see, even though the ship is docked, these land fire departments are having an impossible time dealing with one ship fire. Now imagine what ship crew deal with at sea. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ’ฏโœ…

  23. Was it another Electric Vehicle fire?

  24. The land fire departments are dealing with a whole new situation. Claustrophobia, intense heat, intense smoke, dark endless passageways. And it is worse out at sea.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ’ฏโœ…๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

  25. Metal fires are virtually impossible to extinguish. So if this fire is hot enough, it is a problem.

  26. Hi. I worked on vessels for a few years. You have only 2 options with these situations: 1) Put out the fire. 2) Abandon Ship.

  27. It sucks that the two firemen lost their life. I pray for the family, but the fourth is on the department. You are one of the largest shipping ports in the United States and you donโ€™t train your firefighters for this when itโ€™s in your backyard at all times thereโ€™s at least seven ships in the airport at a time

  28. Poor souls. How does a dept of a city with such a huge port not do training for cargo ships. Rotterdam , Hamburg,Shanghai and other major ports do!

  29. All those gas vehicles are extremely dangerous. Ban gas

  30. Electric cars๐Ÿ˜ฎ

  31. Electric car battery fire I bet

  32. God bless those two heros! The precious thing is that they will be honored by having a rescue-house named after them
    ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

  33. DEAR LORD PLEASE COMFORT THE BEREAVED! IN THE NAME OF JESUS! โค๏ธโœ๏ธโค๏ธ

    Electric cars?

  34. ATTENTION EVERYONE IF YOU FIND YOURSELF IN DANGER SAY JESUS JESUS JESUS JESUS JESUS OVER AND OVER. JESUS SAVES. JESUS LOVES YOU. ๐Ÿ™โค๏ธ

  35. Result of Climate change Lies pushing EV cars that burn forever

  36. I agree 100% no life shouldโ€™ve been lost for a bunch of damn cars the by the way looks like theyโ€™re used!!!! Or even new insurance couldโ€™ve take care of the whole ship if necessary!!!And also they didnโ€™t have training to deal with this specific situation and that makes this even worse!!! RIP ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป!! And my most sincere condolences to the families!! God bless!!!

  37. My bet is it was a Tesla that caught on fire or other EV that went up in flames.

  38. oh man, so sorry for the fire fighters, in Tacoma WA recently a fishing vessel completely burned down, none of the fire fighters went on board, no one was injured as far as I know. Wish they did the same here… unless they went on board to evacuate crew members..

  39. Sounds like some of those new Spontaneous Combustion cars… err… I mean, electric vehicles.
