    Edward M Cotter Fireboat - Definitely a part of Buffalo's history

    Edward M Cotter Fireboat

    5.0(4 reviews)
    17.7 miDowntown, South Buffalo

    https://www.emcotterconservancy.org/history…read more This fireboat has been in service to Buffalo and Western New York for 125 years ! Next month on September 20, 2025 there will be a celebration at River Fest Park 1-6pm to commemorate this historic fire boat. It's the world's oldest active fireboat and the only one in Buffalo. It can produce 15,000 gallons of water per minute, the equivalent of 10-11 fire engines. It's the only icebreaker in the port of Buffalo, and on July 4, 1996, it was designated a National Historic Landmark by the National Parks Service. And now, you can come aboard the 118-foot long, 178-ton Edward M. Cotter fireboat for absolutely free. Docked at 155 Ohio St. across from Swannie House, everybody is welcome to take a tour of the historic fireboat. Taking a tour of this fire boat and going out on the water on a beautiful summer evening with friends certainly has been the highlight of my summer in Western New York.

    Barbi likes this boat, in fact, I cotter trying to get naked on it, needless to say I shut that…read moredown. And by shut that down I mean I did anything she wanted anytime she wanted obvi. This is a beautiful little red fire boat which my friend tells us is also the oldest fire boat that is still working and being used in the whole country. I've loved it since the first time I saw it here in B-Lo years ago. I didn't even know they had fireboats (in general) until I saw this little thing, and it's something which always adds to the lovely charm of the marina area.
