FLL, you just needed to do a little research and the name of the new Gilford Fire Boat would be abundantly clear.
The term Jake is affectionate New England slang for a Firefighter. This word was first used as a reference to firemen in the early 20th century in the Greater Boston area, and it's origins are recognized as officially unknown by several authors.
Likewise, being called a good Jake was, and is, a high compliment to a firefighter.
