The David A. Boody was a fireboat operated on the North River, the lower portion of the Hudson River, within New York state.[1] She was built and commissioned in 1892[2] for the Brooklyn Fire Department and was operated by the BFD until Brooklyn's fleet was merged with that of nearby New York City.

She was a wooden-hulled steam powered vessel, Шаблон:Convert long, Шаблон:Convert wide, and Шаблон:Convert deep.[1] Her pumps could project 6,500 gallons per minute.

The boat was first called to action on Шаблон:Start date, in response to a large fire at a cotton warehouse in Brooklyn's Sunset Park neighborhood. Upon arrival, she assisted the Seth Low in extinguishing the blaze.[3]

On October 22, 1905, the David Boody helped fight a fire that broke out aboard the lighter Joseph CodringhamШаблон:'s cargo of barrels of oil. While other fireboats fought the fire on the lighter itself, the David Boody fought the burning oil that had spilled onto the river.[4]

She was retired in 1914, as a cost-saving measure.[5]
