On Tuesday afternoon, August 27th, residents shared images of what appears to be a ferry on fire near the Jersey City waterfront in close proximity to Exchange Place. Eyewitness accounts reported two boats near each other, with one specific NYWW boat on fire.

Passengers were evacuated and the FDNY was on the scene Tuesday afternoon as the Father Mychal Judge, a ferry boat part of the NYWW fleet of commuter ferries, was smoking. The crew was assisted by the crew of the Admiral Richard E. Bennis.
Marine Tracker shows the boat very near to the dock in Jersey City. Passengers were safely evacuated from the boat and delivered to the Paulus Hook ferry terminal.
