Biloxi Fire Department utilized the agency’s 33-foot fire boat to put out the flames and rescue the couple and their dog. The fire boat, named the Serena G., is a multipurpose vessel that is able to supply water to help fight flames. It also has a climate-controlled cabin and two state-of-the-art water nozzles, including one nozzle that can be operated remotely.
