is the big fire boat 343 or firefighter 2, or is it the old fire boat?

[dodge889]

oh no was everything ok???

@dodge889 I think some firefighters had minor injuries if I remember correctly.

Great coverage. Too bad the fire boats weren't there earlier.

[NJPhotographer62]

@shipsbells Thanks! Yeah! I should have stayed on the fire but I switched to the cruise ships. Bad mistake.

Good to see those fire tugs are used for more than just putting on a show to welcome cruise ships

I'm the Pilot of the 52 ft fireboat Kane at this fire. That;s the second boat to arrive at the scene. If you have the complete video of this fire, we would be very interested to see it.

Awesome video. It looks like the dock is on fire also. What a mess.

[NJPhotographer62]

@truegriper Thanks! Yeah! You're right. They were still watering it down three hours later which is shown at the end of this video.

Scary Stuff, how did it happen?

[NJPhotographer62]

@Lilyankee2424 I don't know. Nothing I've read online says how it started.
