STONY POINT, NY – John D. McKean is a fireboat that served the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) as Marine Company 1. She is named after John D. Mckean, who died in a 1953 steam explosion while trying to save a predecessor fireboat, the George B. McClellan.

The boat was one of the fire boats that responded to Manhattan during the September 11th attacks to supply firefighters with water after water mains broke following the collapses. The boat also helped rescue passengers from US Airways Flight 1549, when she made an emergency landing on the Hudson River in 2009.

The John D. McKean Fireboat is currently docked in Stony Point, New York. Video from June 7, 2020.
