The engine room of a ship bursts into flames. Black smoke billows into the air. The fire begins to spread, snaking through the belly of the boat. A fire alarm sounds, and specially trained marine firefighters aboard the ship grab their gear and rush to the scene. They work fast to contain and extinguish the fire before any serious harm is done. Dramatic, true stories will keep readers turning the pages as they learn first-hand how these tough, brave firefighters use their strength, quick thinking, and expert skills to battle deadly blazes. In addition, readers will go behind the scenes to learn how marine firefighters train for their job so that they are ready to spring into action at a moment’s notice.

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 water-jet-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.
