Marine One is a $1.5 million fireboat, retired as a cost saving measure, by Savannah, Georgia, in November, 2018.[1][2]

Savannah acquired the boat in 2014, with $1.2 million of its cost paid for through a FEMA Port Security Grant.[3] Like all fireboats paid for through FEMA grants, the fireboat is equipped to work during disasters where it has to cope with dangerous chemical spills, or when the air is contaminated with nuclear, chemical or germ warfare agents.
