Can it help on an island?
Many of the fires that would consume a cottage do not start in the building. They would come from outside, by way of trees or vegetation.
This was a fire, on Bear, that started by downed electrical wires igniting brush and a canoe, and was doused by 5 gallon buckets. Someone happened to be driving by at the time. A fireboat would not have helped here due to the ice, but on a summer it would be a different situation.
