Representatives from the East End Seaport Museum met with retired fireboat Fire Fighter’s president and director Charlie Ritchie and members of the press Saturday morning for a tour of the boat, which is presently docked at Mitchell Park Marina in Greenport.

The 134-foot Fire Fighter, which was in service for the New York City Fire Department from 1938 until 2010, will be offering tours in the coming months.
