ABSTRACT:
A fire fighting accessory for diverting the water flow generated by a jet propulsion system from the drive unit to a fire fighting implement, the accessory specifically designed to be attached to an existing drive system in a noninterfering relationship with the steering nozzle of the jet. The accessory may be mounted either downstream or upstream of the jet outlet and is controllable from within the vessel. In one embodiment, the accessory coupler is moved into and out of engagement with the drive unit. In an alternative embodiment, a valve system is used to direct water into either the jet outlet or the accessory coupler.
