An offshore firefighting apparatus for subduing an offshore fire includes a vessel; a jet engine coupled to the vessel; and a dynamic positioning system for positioning the vessel. One or more vessels are placed in the vicinity of an offshore fire with the exhaust side of the jet engines pointed toward the fire. As the jet engines are operated, exhaust from the jet engines subdues the fire. The dynamic positioning system on the vessel controls vessel movement during the fire fighting operation.
