The Jack Buck is a fireboat operated by the St. Louis Fire Department in St. Louis, Missouri.[1]
She was commissioned On May 17, 2003.[2] At that time she was the fire department's largest vessel, even though the city described her as a "Boston Whaler". She is 27 ft (8.23 m) long.
In 2010 the Jack Buck helped extinguish a fire that destroyed the excursion boat Robert E. Lee.[3]
