An unmanned fire boat which can safely and effectively extinguish a fire on a ship even in the event of spreading and spillage of an outflowing oil and a stormy weather, is excellent in mobility. The fire boat mounts thereon a remote control device (4) to actuate via transmission from a remote safe region a fire fighting mechanism (1), which jets and sprays water from a fire fighting tower (1a) on the ship and a submerging ballast mechanism (2) and a navigating mechanism (3) installed in the ship to thereby perform fire fighting and extinguishing by means of remote control from the remote safe region. The fire fighting tower (1a) is installed to freely stand up and fall, and wheels (5) for land transport are provided on a boat's bottom, whereby air transport of the boat over a long distance by a warplane and land transport of the boat over a short distance by traction of a crane truck are carried out with the fire fighting tower kept flat.

L'invention concerne un bateau-pompe capable d'éteindre de manière sûre et efficace un incendie sur un bateau même en cas de propagation et d'épanchement de pétrole hors de ce dernier, ou de tempête, et présentant une excellente mobilité. Un dispositif (4) de télécommande est monté sur le bateau-pompe et permet de commander par voie d'émission, à partir d'un endroit sûr, un mécanisme (1) d'extinction qui projette et vaporise de l'eau à partir d'une tour (1a) d'extinction placée sur le bateau, ainsi qu'un système (2) de lest pour immersion et un système (3) de navigation installés sur le bateau, afin de procéder à des opérations de lutte contre le feu et d'extinction par télécommande à partir d'un endroit sûr. La tour (1a) d'extinction est montée de manière à pouvoir être placée en position debout ou couchée et le fond du bateau comprend des roues (5) permettant de transporter le bateau par voie terrestre. La tour d'extinction est maintenue à plat lorsque le bateau-pompe est transporté sur une grande distance par un avion militaire ou lorsqu'il est transporté par voie terrestre sur une courte distance, tracté par un camion-grue.
