Talk:Fireboat

message: I'm thinking of real soon adding a Ship Classing to the article. Now days newer, non-America, and fireboats that are not tug boats. Many fire departments have many sizes and types of boats that they call a fireboat. The modern term for a fireboat has change to any boat that is own by a fire department or does some kind of fire service. Any input would be nice on classing fireboats.
Here below is a way to class each type of ship that's a fireboat.
*Fire Frigate Class: Any ship that's class over 500+ tons. (This would be very rare is any in service.) 
*Fire Corvette Heavy Class: Any ship that's over 100 tons and able to discharge more than 30000 liters of water.
*Fire Corvette Light Class: Any ship that's less 100 tons and able to reach speeds over 16 knots. Able to discharge more than 16000 liters of water. 
*Fire Tug Class: Design like a tug boat and able to tow or push other ships. These reach no higher than 16 knots in speed. The ships are design for harbors, bays, calm coastline, and river use only. 
*Fire Patrol Class: Any ship that's less than 35 tons. Multi-equipment for fire fighting and Sea Rescue.    
*Fire Multi-purpose Craft Class: Any ship that's less than 15 tons and does multi-roles in fire fighting and/or rescue.

message: Like Fire Trucks... There are many dual duty they can do. Such as Ladder Truck or Tanker Truck.
If a ship has a ladder and it is a Tug class. Then it would be called "Ladder Tug" Class.
