fireboat /ˈfʌɪəbəʊt /nounA boat carrying firefighters and equipment for fighting large fires on board ships and in waterside areas: the city dispatched a fireboat as a precaution...- When the other ship suddenly caught fire and sent SOS signals by flashlight, the fireboat shot out water to put out the fire.
- It began with fire hoses, and then was fought with fire boats - and finally, giant industrial pumps.
- Without a fireboat we may have lost the railroad bridge, as the access to this area is quite restrictive to large fire apparatus.
