MetalCraft Marine

Fire / Rescue 28 Aluminum boats

The Fire/Rescue 28 is a new generation of fire boat. It provides more speed, manoeuvrability, cargo capacity and pumping capacity than any other boat of its size.

This is the highest pumping 28-foot NFPA fireboat in North America. It is fitted with a Darley pump that produced flow meter results of 1563 GPM.

The unique MetalCraft Marine-designed sea chest has an intake that is three times the cross sectional area of the pump intake, and can be cleaned while underway.

The Main Monitor is mounted over the center of the boat, minimizing the reaction force and allowing the operator to control the boat while flowing a full stream. Operators are amazed at the boat’s handling characteristics while flowing water from the main monitor.

Simplicity is the key to the fire system controls. It is based on a fire truck design and uses conventional fire truck parts for ease of maintenance and service. Fire/Rescue - 28 Delivering water and emergency response; in time, on target, every time, in any condition.
