fire boat

Floating emergency responder

A fire boat is a watercraft equipped for firefighting, typically with powerful pumps that draw water directly from the body of water it operates on.

Fire boats respond to fires on ships, docks, and waterfront structures, and can spray water onto shore fires that land-based trucks can't easily reach: The fire boat doused the burning pier.
