I don't know. Maybe I'm missing some vital strategy, but you have:
* Lots and lots of water everywhere (you can hose down a lot of fires with water, and this will stop the fires some times!)
* Generators (these make electricity and can fit on boats)
* Boats which float on water (i have seen this happen)
* Pumps which squirt water (squirting doesn't required gravity but in this case it helps)
So why are no boats, even s****y fishing boats, floating around downtown NO, fighting fires? I'm seeing helicopters drop 50 or so gallons at a time on fires, but then they fly back to the water refilling station 10 minutes away to get more water to drop on a house.
Are they dropping evian drinking water on these places or something?

Haha!
I dreamed up like 5 different contraptions in my mind that could be dipped into the water, low water, for fires and another one that you drop right into soil like a heavy post hole digger with a baging machine connected to it. Part of it flips over dropping the soil in a bag that this same machine heat seals closed, then they can drop it. All hanging below a helicopter. You could stay in one spot as long as their is soil and the machine is filled with bags. No having to pick them up from other places.

alot of the water is polluted with gasoline & other flammable chemicals. extinguishing fires with that could be a problem

Seems like if the water was that flammable, the whole place would be up in flames by now.
HMM...!

I guess it goes without saying that each dreamed up contraption had an M2 mounted on it, just in case a looter got in the way?

My machines would suck the water from under the floating flammables!

The machines would hang under helicopters. Most of these are already armed.
Anything else?

Perhaps if all those deep southerners got together they could put out the fires with their own saliva & some trusty watermelons.

In answer to your question any coastal fire dept as well as the Coast Guard has fire boats. Why they aren't using them, I couldn't really say. It would make sense. Maybe there is a concern with the polluted water, I don't know. Gasoline would have evaporated by now, it does so almost instantly, so the gasoline wouldn't be the concern. Maybe there's other stuff in the water they don't want to spread, so they're taking water out of the Gulf.
-Nah-

I guess a fine, misty cloud of dysentery wouldn't bowl over so well.

Dysentery isn't usually fatal, lets use smallpox.
