The first comprehensive account of fire and rescue boats in
America, this profusely illustrated book sheds light on a heroic
tradition dating to the nineteenth century. From coast to coast and
in cities large and small, it documents everything from
battleship-size fireboats so powerful their monitors could reduce
concrete structures to rubble, to small waterjet-powered fireboats,
and everything in between. Included are operational details that
showcase the proud traditions of marine firefighting. The author
traces the evolution of mammoth wood and iron fireboats to modern,
high-tech aluminum vessels whose role is dictated by ever-changing
dangers and technology. This book pays tribute to marine
firefighters who served with purpose and pride, and who continue to
answer the call of danger.
