A fireboat station is a special place where big boats called fireboats live. Fireboats are boats that are used to put out fires on other boats, buildings near the water, or even fires in the water itself.
At the fireboat station, the fireboats have a special place to park called a berth. This is like a big parking spot just for boats. The fireboats are kept there until they are needed to help put out a fire.
The fireboat station is also home to specially trained firefighters who work on the fireboats. These firefighters are called marine firefighters because they are experts in fighting fires on or near the water. They wear special gear, like a regular firefighter, but they also wear life jackets or floatation devices to keep them safe in case they need to jump into the water to put out a fire.
The fireboat station is very important because fires can happen anywhere, even on boats in the middle of a river or on buildings near the water. The fireboats and the marine firefighters who work there are ready to help keep everyone safe and put out fires quickly and safely.
