Because water transport is an important industry on the rivers of the Mississippi River system, there are a number of fireboats on the Mississippi River system.

Since Al-Qaeda's attacks within the Continental United States on September 11th, 2001, the Department of Homeland Security has provided generous FEMA Port Security Grants to build new fireboats.
