Imagine having one of those moored outside Lahaina or meandering about Lake Okanagan just suppressing fires with huge amounts of easily accessible water.

There has to be a reason that wouldnt work otherwise you'd think someone would have done it.

Sadly it often takes a catastrophe and then someone to say "See I ####ing told you boats would have been a good idea" for something like that to take hold.
