Fireboat

A fireboat is a specialized watercraft with pumps and nozzles designed for fighting shoreline and shipboard fires. They are frequently used for fighting fires on docks and shore side warehouses as they can directly attack fires in the supporting underpinnings of these structures. Fireboats are most usually seen by the public when welcoming a fleet or historical ships with a display of their water moving capabilities, throwing large arcs of water in every direction.
