Well, not just any fireboat: The Warner Lawrence is one of the most technologically advanced fireboats in the world. It is an omni-directional vessel driven by large propulsion devices similar to huge egg beaters. The Warner Lawrence has the capability to pump up to 38,000 US gallons per minute (2 m³/s) up to 400 feet (120 m) in the air.
It's absolutely bristling with equipment! Amazing piece of work.
