1931년, 어느 화창한 날에 뉴욕시의 소방선인 존 제이 하비호가 진수되었습니다. 당시 뉴욕에는 총 12척의 소방선이 있었는데 하비는 그 중에서 가장 크고 빠른 최신형 소방선이었습니다. 무엇보다 8개의 파이프를 통해 분당 6만리터나 되는 엄청난 양의 물을 화재현장에 뿌릴 수 있었지요. 그리고 1995년까지 64년동안 하비는 뉴욕의 허드슨강을 오르내리며 수많은 화재현장에 출동해서 불을 껐습니다.
1995년에 뉴욕시는 하비가 너무 오래되어서 쓸모없다고 생각하고 화재업무에서 은퇴시켰습니다. 그리고 고철로 팔기 위해 오랫동안 부두에 정박시켜 놓았습니다. 이렇게 5년이 지난 후, 친구사이인 8명의 뉴욕 시민들이 힘을 합쳐 하비를 구입하고, 깨끗하게 수리한 후, 강 위에 띄워놓고 오락 목적으로 사용했습니다. 하비가 화재를 진압하는 임무를 다시 하게 되리라고 생각한 사람은 아무도 없었지요.
그런데 2001년 9월 11일, 뉴욕의 무역센타 빌딩에 비행기를 충돌시키는 역사상 최악의 테러가 벌어지고, 거대한 빌딩 2개가 폭삭 무너지는 바람에 시내의 소방전이 모두 망가져서 소방관들이 불을 끌 수 없는 상황이 벌어졌습니다. 하비를 구입했던 친구들은 소방관이 아닌 일반인들이지만, 하비를 몰고 참사현장에 달려가서 4일 밤낮동안 쉬지 않고 물을 퍼부었습니다. 잠도 교대로 자면서 무너진 무역센터에서 일어난 화재를 진압하기 위해 최선을 다했습니다. 그리고 마침내 4일 후에 화재가 진압되었으며, 하비는 뉴욕시로 불이 퍼지는 것을 막은 영웅이 되었습니다...

Book Description
The John J. Harvey fireboat was the largest, fastest, shiniest fireboatof its time, but by 1995, the city didn't need old fireboats anymore. So the Harvey retired, until a group of friends decided to save it from the scrap heap. Then, one sunny September day in 2001, something so horrible happened that the whole world shook. And a call came from the fire department, asking if the Harvey could battle the roaring flames. In this inspiring true story, Maira Kalman brings a New York City icon to life and proves that old heroes never die.
Publishers Weekly
In relating the heroic role of the John J. Harvey on September 11, Kalman (Next Stop Grand Central) intelligently conveys those unfathomable events in a way that a picture book audience can comprehend. She begins with the year 1931, which saw some of New York City's finest hours: "Amazing things were happening big and small./ The Empire State Building went up up up." She continues with the completion of the George Washington Bridge, then zeroes in on the launching of the John J. Harvey, "the largest, fastest and shiniest fireboat of them all." Spot illustrations show its equipment and introduce the crew (including "a dog named Smokey, who did not put out the fires but had many nice spots"), while views of the New York harbor stretch across a spread. She then fast-forwards to 1995: "New York was changing. The Twin Towers were now the tallest buildings in New York City." But the piers are also closing, so the fireboat rests in retirement. One night, a group of friends decide over dinner to restore the John J. Harvey to its original glory. Next, the volume takes an abrupt turn. White type on a black page announces: "But then on September 11, 2001 something so huge and horrible happened that the whole world shook." A sequence of spreads shows the towers literally exploding in dark, angry brushstrokes of black and gray and orange, followed by the many heroes who "sprang into action," including the John J. Harvey. With this inspiring book, Kalman (Next Stop Grand Central) sensitively handles a difficult subject in an age-appropriate manner.
School Library Journal
Kalman's hip, high-energy paintings portray American life in 1931: the Empire State Building is constructed, Babe Ruth hits his 611th home run, "Snickers" is invented, and the John J. Harvey is launched to fight fires on New York piers. In its heyday, the boat is the creme de la creme, but toward the end of the century as the piers start to close, it is forced into retirement, soon to become scrap. Amazingly, a group of friends decides to tackle a restoration, and the John J. Harvey is called upon to fight its worst blaze ever. The fireboat's role on September 11 calls for a shift in the book's mood and style. The transition is signaled with a quiet page of white text on gray-no art. The spread of the expressionistic explosion is followed by portraits of community helpers. The climax is depicted on a black background with the firefighters, appearing as blue, kinetic outlines, furiously battling the blazing orange, red, and yellow flames with long lines of white spray. Fireboat does many things. It sets forth an adventure, helps commemorate an anniversary, offers an interesting bit of history, celebrates the underdog, and honors the fire-fighting profession. Children and adults will respond to it in as many ways.
