Vigilance (fireboat)

Vigilance is a fireboat operated by Long Beach, California.

It is the second of two large fireboats Long Beach commissioned and the largest on North America's West Coast.

The ship's ten water cannons can pump 41,000 gallons per minute, more than four times as much as its predecessors.

In addition to firefighting duties, Fireboat 20 and its sister-ship have air-tight crew compartments and a decontamination chamber, so they are equipped to respond to the releases of hazardous material, in particular they can respond to radiological, poison gas, or germ warfare attacks.
