Fireboats are specialized emergency vessels equipped with powerful pumps, fire hoses, and water cannons used to fight fires from the water. They are particularly valuable in ports and harbors, where they can protect ships, docks, warehouses, and waterfront structures. As they pump water directly under the hull, fireboats have an almost unlimited water supply during their operations.

The first fireboats date back to the late 18th century when tugboats were equipped with firefighting equipment. Over time, they have become essential service vessels in major ports worldwide. Fireboats are also known for their ceremonial water displays, often hosting historic ships, naval fleets, and special events with impressive water arches spraying from their water cannons.
