FIREBOATS
I have always been interested in fireboats.
Perhaps it is from me growing up in a boat building family
and going on to have a wonderful long fire service career.
Whatever the reason, Fireboats are special machines.
Throughout history, a wonderful variety of powerful firefighting vessels have
protected the waterfronts and battled major fires in many of the larger cities.
Typically each fireboat was designed for the port it served.
In some cases boats were fully staffed and ready to respond at all times.
Others, would only be staffed when needed.
Either way, when fireboats go to work they are a powerful force.
In recent years, particularly since 2001, many of the older fireboats have
been replaced by newer, more powerful, more sophisticated boats that
utilize all the modern technologies available. Some are capable of more
pumping capacity than 2 or 3 previous boats.
With Homeland Security grants, more and more fireboats have been
built for the smaller cities and towns that previously did not have this
resource available to them.
As I have traveled around the country I have attempted to photograph
as many of these old and new firefighting and rescue vessels as I can.
Each has its own unique design, features, and histories which make
this "hobby" as interesting as it is. Documenting these vessels in
photographs has become a passion and I continue to look forward to
whatever comes next.
I hope you find this feature informative and enjoyable.
Please let me know if you have some information about
any of the boats, see typos, or know of something new.
Enjoy!

JAPAN FIREBOATS 2023
Japan 2023
The search for fireboats has taken us to many
interesting places.
Our focus has previously been on the USA and Canada, but in
September and October 2023 we had the opportunity to visit Japan.
The search for fireboats was very rewarding, photographing about
20 boats in several cities if Japan.
I would like to say thank you "Arigato!"
to all those great firefighters
who took the time to show this crazy American your Fireboats
and apparatus. It was a wonderful, special, once in a lifetime
experience that we will treasure forever!
The guys aboard the "Yokohama"
The first Fireboats I found in Japan was
actually a Japan Coast Guard vessel
called the "Hiryu" FL-01. This large Japanese Coast Guard
ship is a very
powerful firefighting ship. It is docked in Yokohama.
Tokyo is one of the largest cities in
the world with a large port to protect.
There are 3 Fireboat stations in Tokyo. The largest is the Rinko Station
in the Harumi section of Tokyo. The largest boat assigned there is the
43 meter (140+ ft) Fireboat "Miyakodoi" built in 2013.
The second largest boat in the 9 boat
Tokyo fleet is the "Oedo"
which is also assigned to the Rinko station.
The second Tokyo Fireboat station is at
Takanawa very near the infamous
Rainbow Bridge. Two boats, almost twins, "Ariake" and "Kachidoki"
are assigned here.
The third Tokyo Fireboat station is
located up the Sumida River in a section
of Tokyo known as Hamacho. There two boats are the "Hamakaze" and "Kiyosu".
Both with low profiles to get under the many bridges over the river.
On the northern shore of the huge Tokyo
Bay is Chiba City.
This was my farthest north fireboat "Matsukazi".
A very large boat and a great group of guys who showed me around.
The "Yokohama" is the largest of the two
fireboats at Yokohama.
We got the full tour of the vessel.
Thumbs up aboard the "Yokohama".
Kawasaki City has two Fireboats. The
"Kawasaki" is the larger
of the two boats. The "Umikazi" is the smaller boat.
Boat are together in a very industrialized area.
We made it as far south (or west) as
Hiroshima.
The main Hiroshima Fireboat is called "Hiroshima".
One of the toughest boats to get to was
the "Ichikawa City" Fireboat
which about a mile walk to and from the closest train station
on a 90 degree high humidity day. Worth the walk.
Many of the Fireboat stations are also
land based fire stations.
The guys at Chiba explained and demonstrated a number of things
that are different about the smaller Japanese apparatus.
You never know what you might find in
the search for Fireboats.
My visit to the Tokyo's Takanawa Station also got me a ride in the bucket
of a Ladder Truck that was drilling at the station. I got a birds eye view
of Tokyo harbor and the fireboats.

MASSACHUSETTS BOAT YARD FIRE
MATTAPOISETT, MA
The Mattapoisett (Massachusetts) Boat Yard was destroyed by a 5 Alarm+ fire
on August 19, 2022. The fire was fought by 3 fireboats from New Bedford,
Dartmouth,
and the Wareham Harbormaster.

New Bedford Fire Department Marine 38 pumped its deckgun during the fire
and also supplied land companies via LDH.
FIREBOAT INFORMATION

Wonderful book with lots of up to date information
about fire boats.

A great book on fireboats.
This book was very helpful and I highly recommend it.

Not all fireboats are on salt water. Many are on the larger lakes.
The "Simon Aliotta" is on Lake Norman, in the general Charlotte, NC area.
Many times I will take photos of boats without assistance.
Sometimes I luck out and make a good contact with someone
who truly shows off their boat as the Cornelius-Lemay folks did.

The ongoing search for fireboats has increased in recent years with some
trips
specifically designed to locate and photograph a number of boats.
We added a number of boats in from
Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina,
Georgia, and Florida in November-December 2015.

The Search Continues
During March - April 2016 our journey brought us down to southern
Florida including
fireboats at Miami and Miami-Dade County. Then across the Florida
panhandle to see
boats at Panama City, Niceville, Pensacola. Into Alabama we found Orange
Beach and
Mobile boats. As we headed back, a stop in Savannah was rewarded by a grand
water
display by the Savannah Marine 1.

On the Road Again 2016!
We set out across the country in our RV in the Fall of 2016.
The primary mission of the trip was to photograph as many fireboats
as we could find. The trip was extremely successful with over
90 more boats being added to the list!
We found boats in middle America, Western Canada, all the
way down
the USA west coast, and on the way back east.
Along the way we met some great people who shared their
special boats with me so that I could share them with you.
