The Discovery is a fireboat launched on the Columbia River in 2014.[1][2][3] The new vessel will be operated by the Vancouver Fire Department. The vessel's water cannons can pump {{convert|3000|USgal/min|L/min|abbr=on}} and is the city's first dedicated fireboat. She was purchased through a port security grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.[3] The $2.7 million grant was shared with the Fire Department of nearby Astoria, Oregon, and Clark County Fire & Rescue. In 2002 the Washington Survey and Review Bureau published a report that stated that Vancouver maritime commerce was well above the size where the city needed a dedicated fireboat.[4] The publication of the report triggered an increase local insurance rates. The FEMA report Marine Response Vessel Use and Design Assessment recommended that Vancouver's fireboat should have a minimum pumping capacity of at least {{convert|5000|USgal/min|L/min|abbr=on}}. In addition to her fire-fighting capability the vessel is equipped with infrared sensors to support search and rescue missions.[2] She is equipped with facilities to contain oil and other hazardous material spills. She was designed to be of use in the event of natural or man-made disasters, like earthquakes, or terrorist attacks. In her cabin there is decontamination station and facilities for providing frontline medical care.
