Relatives of two New Jersey firefighters who died battling a cargo ship fire last summer and the head of a powerful international firefighters' union called Wednesday for the top leaders of the Newark Fire Department to be replaced, saying they had botched their response to the blaze. The widow of Newark Fire Capt. Wayne Brooks Jr. and the younger brother of Capt. Augusto Acabou joined with Ed Kelly, the general president of the International Association of Firefighters, to denounce the leadership of former Fire Chief Rufus Jackson, who was promoted to assistant public safety director two months after the July 5, 2023, fire.
