fireboats
Harbor fire engines
Fireboats are vessels equipped with pumps and water cannons for fighting fires on ships, docks, and waterfront structures.
They draw water directly from the body of water they operate on, giving them virtually unlimited supply.
Fireboats also perform rescue operations and can spray ceremonial water arcs to welcome arriving ships: The fireboat greeted the tall ship with fountains of water.
