Sank. Damn. They'll be there until the next hurricane pushes them into the middle of the harbour.

Things keep burning down while surrounded by water, I'm concerned about our ability to stop fires inland. Don't they have a truck or boat with a high-volume water pump to put out the fires with seawater?

Sea water wont stop the fire. It will enhance it.
