A configurable support for an autonomous firefighting tower is mainly used as an unmanned, single leg firefighting tower that extinguishes fires in smaller scale areas. The configurable support includes a support member, a supply pipe, a pipe inlet, and a leg-engagement feature. The support member is the main structure that houses the supply pipe. The supply pipe allows fluid to flow from a water supply and out of the support member. The pipe inlet allows a water supply hose or similar conduit to be hermetically attached to the supply pipe. The leg-engagement feature allows the configurable support to receive an extension leg in order to be situated on a ground surface when the configurable support is combined with the multiple configurable supports to form an unmanned, multiple leg firefighting tower.
