I think the ocean can take of the fire itself, but that's a neat little boat.

Doesn't seem to be the most sea-worthy vessel out there. Maybe he'll need saving himself.

Ah, good ol' https://brickset.com/parts/design-2516, I love that piece. Thirty plus years of good service. The database page says it retired last year, but PaB still has black ones for sale, so maybe it's not dead just yet.

Could just be that sets that use it, has not yet, or maybe will not be released this year.
64 sets and a "minifig" has used that piece, since 1990.

The database will include years of introduction, but won’t account for when sets actually retire. In some cases, that has resulted in parts being available over a decade after the last year they were listed as appearing.

That’s not how OPAB works. Parts show up at least two months after the set releases, not before. However, they can stay available until the last set containing them officially retires, which itself can be well after the set goes out of stock.

Ugh. That facial hair. One look at that minifigure, and you can already tell he has strong opinions on fonts.

Warning: Boat does not actually float or extinguish fires.

Correction: Boat does automatically extinguish onboard fires. By sinking.

Pretty unusual design for a boat polybag. I like it.
