AAVF - R.I.P. Newark FF Augosto Acabou and FF Wayne Brooks Jr.

The Assn. Aux-Vol Firefighters offers our deepest condolences on the passing of Newark FD, FF Augosto 'Augie' Acabou 45 (L) and FF Wayne 'Bear' Brooks 49 (R) who perished in the shipboard fire on The Grimaldi Group Container Ship 'Grande Costa D'Avorio' on Wednesday 7/6/23 in Port Newark in New Jersey. They will definitely be missed by all. Our prayers and sympathies go out to their families, friends and extended family in the entire Newark FD. There are many lessons to be learned from this LODD. Please heed them and not let their deaths go in vain. Also
there were also 3 Newark FD and 2 Elizabeth FD, Firefighters injured who thankfully are recovering. Ship based fire operations are difficult in their own right, but something we should prepare for, especially if your districts are near maritime operations. Please stay safe all!
