The 45-Foot RB-M: Uses a Portable Pump
The 45-foot RB-M does not have an integrated naval firefighting
system, but it carries a highly capable portable system: [1]

The Equipment: It routinely carries a standalone, gasoline-powered
USCG-P6 salvage and dewatering pump.
Dual Function: The P6 pump is highly versatile. It can be hooked up to
a sea chest suction valve to pump 250 gallons of seawater per minute
through a fire hose, or it can be dropped into a flooding vessel to
pump water out. [1, 2, 3]

per google ai

the 29 foot boats just have fire extinguishers

===============================

4. Every Crew Member is a Firefighter

Unlike a small station where you wait for a local fire department, a
cutter out in the middle of the ocean is entirely on its own. Because
of this, Damage Control (DC) is a core survival requirement for every
person onboard. [1]

The Drills: No matter if a member's job is cooking meals, handling
paperwork, or navigating, they are assigned to a specific fire team or
repair locker on the ship's emergency bill. The crew runs high-stress
fire drills weekly.
The Gear: Cutters carry an immense inventory of firefighting armor
(turnout gear), Self-Contained Breathing Apparatuses (SCBAs), thermal
imaging cameras, and specialized tools to cut through steel bulkheads
to vent smoke and heat.

If you are curious about shipboard life or operations, I can explain
what happens during a "General Quarters" emergency drill or break down
the specific role of the Damage Controlman (DC) rating.
