O knihe
A fireboat is a specialized watercraft and with pumps and nozzles designed for fighting shoreline and shipboard fires. The first fireboats, dating to the mid-Nineteenth Century, were tugboats, retrofitted with firefighting equipment.Older boats resembling a tugboat and newer modern fireboats are design like seafaring ships. Some departments would give their Multi-purpose Crafts the title of "Fireboat" also.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. They also have an unlimited supply of water available, pumping directly from below the hull and can be used to assist shore based firefighters when other water is in low supply or is unavailable, for example, due to earthquake breakage of water mains, as happened in San Francisco due to the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.
