It took me a while to figure this one out. Your movement keys (right, left) swing your character around on the gunner chair. So the "in front of you" means when your gunner chair faces the ship, not looking towards the prow of your own boat. It still took a while since a lot of fires didn't seem to react, but I finally got it done.

Description

Oh no, {name}, the cannonballs are hitting the Speedbarge. I'd say the Southsea pirates are getting more accurate... the ship is on fire! You've got a river boat now. Please, go speak with Griznak. Extinguish those fires!

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
