Workboats Northwest Delivers Fire

Boat To Bremerton

Bremerton, Wash., home to the

Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, has taken delivery of a 26.5-foot by 9.5- foot fireboat built by Workboats

Northwest, Inc. The boat was also designed as a floating pumping sta- tion and a search and rescue boat.

Basic power for the vessel is pro- vided by 460-cubic-inch, 355 hp

Kodiak gasoline engine driving a single 2,500 gpm Berkeley pump.

The boat's valving system directs water flow to propulsion and firefighting systems. A relatively shallow-draft vessel, the boat will speed to better than 33 mph with the Berkeley steerable water jet.

Bow thrusters, from Workboats

Northwest, allow the boat to hold position or maneuver in restricted areas. Bow-mounted fog nozzles provide a heat screen.

The unnamed boat can fight boat, marina and shorefront fires with a bow mounted monitor capable of delivering up to 1,200 gpm.

As a floating pumping station for fighting shorefront fires, water is pumped through an aft hydrant with two 2.5-inch or one five-inch stan- dard "Stortz" connections to supply water to shore-based fire appara- tus, or to fill water tenders where landside hydrants are not available.

The boat also carries a 20-gallon

Class B foam system.

Wheelhouse furnishings include

Morse controls, Kodiak engine in- strumentation and alarm systems, and such electronic gear as GPS, video sounders, radars, radio-tele- phones, loud hailers and full fire siren and light systems.

Other boat features include: full flotation, welded cleats and lifting eyes, towing bitts, safety railings, self-bailing decks, aft dive and work platforms, and starboard diving and rescue doors.
