| dbo:abstract | The Hartz-Booth fireboat is a thirty-six foot (11 m) boat operated by the City of Huntington, West Virginia Fire Department for emergency responses (firefighting and rescue) on the Ohio River and its tributaries in the , West Virginia, United States, which is the largest inland port in the United States. Her mission is to protect life, property and the environment in and along the Ohio River and its tributaries. She is the result of a fourteen-year project to acquire a FEMA Port Security Grant from the United States Department of Homeland Security. On September 3, 2013 the City of Huntington Fire Department was awarded $569,100.00 to purchase the boat. The boat was primarily designed by Captain Jeff Sheets with the assistance of Lieutenant Jaymes Nelson, Lieutenant Charley Shumaker, Captain Shawn Willis, Captain Robert Ray, Private Jeff Waugh and Private Toby Mitchell. Captain Shawn Willis completed the grant application and secured the grant for the fire department. The Hartz-Booth was dedicated and christened during a ceremony on May 22, 2014 at Harris Riverfront Park, Huntington, West Virginia and given the moniker "Marine Company 1" proclaimed by Chief Carl Eastham and Mayor Steve Williams. The Hartz-Booth is named in memory of two city firefighters, Lieutenant Leonard Hartz and Private William Ernest Booth who both drowned in the Ohio River on May 22, 1948, exactly 66 years before the dedication ceremony, attempting to rescue three young boys, John Claypool, Jr., 12 years old, brother Phillip Claypool, nine years old and Hubert James Borders, 12 years old, who went missing in the swollen and swift current around 9:30am. Both the johnboat the boys were rowing and the fire-rescue boat the two firefighters launched to rescue them capsized under a moored barge in the swift current and drowned them all. All five bodies were recovered from the Ohio River. The boat was constructed by of Superior, Wisconsin(4) after winning the competitive bid.

She operates two manual located on each side of the and one remote-controlled monitor located on the cabin roof. The fire pump is powered by a 6.0 liter gasoline engine and the boat is propelled by two 300 horsepower (220 kW) Mercury gasoline outboard engines.
