For working forrest fires, in order to protect their wood snowsheds. Not for squirting water on electric locomotives!
Cool, the fire train is headed by at least one TE-series locomotive, an older reverse-engineered ALCO RSD-1. I didn't know they still used them on mainlines!
I almost passed over this topic. Glad I didn't.
In Russia, train fires you!

This was used in Duluth,Minn. from 1907-1930. It is America's only known firefighting trolley and was written about in a recent issue of VINTAGE FIRE TRUCK & EQUIPMENT magazine.
This would be an interesting project for a traction modeler, the magazine article has a number of in-service photos.
