Many years ago there was a small vessel on fire in the Esquimalt Lagoon area….small vessel, maybe 25’ long. The Master of the Firebrand put the forward monitor on the fire, put the fire out, but at 2500 GPM, unfortunately filled the boat up with water and sank it….

She was also involved when Yarrows Shipyard caught fire during the de-construction around 1996.
