not quite, modern firefighting techniques have come a long way from from just pouring water in copious amounts, in fact quite the opposite. Training now involves, and has for a number of years, compartment cooling and the reduction of possible flashover and backdraught by pulsing water spray into the unburnt gases at ceiling level and allowing the steam from that initial attack to cool the gases and potentially extinguish the fire before entry by firefighters into that compartment.
Fire and rescue services that also have a coastline as part of their area, ie Kent, Dorset, Suffolk etc also undergo firefighting training on ship fires, as do brigades who have an airport in their area undergo aircraft fire training as a back up for airport fire services who are the primary attack but do need back up from nearby stations.
