FIREHAWK 18 - 20
Product Highlights and Innovations:
Patented - Dual 7’ collapsible dive platform doors. These doors are manually controlled. The doors (foam filled) float on the waterline when completely lowered providing multiple patient access in a rescue situation. These doors also provide a flat waterline platform for dive exercises and rescue basket area for easier helicopter attachment and removal.
When both Port and Starboard doors are lowered these also provide additional boat stability in heavy seas.
The Outboard Firehawk (Fire model) also provides a 1200 GPM fire pump and bow mounted monitor for fire suppression (water and foam) and “pump out” capabilities. The below deck fire pump is directly plumbed through the keel (Patented). The pump is always primed and can supply water with a turn of a key for the fire pump engine.
The Twin Jet Drive Firehawk allows water to be diverted from one of the jet drives to provide 1200 GPM. This system avoids the cost of the seperate Hale pump and engine.
2/3’s of the hull is foam filled. Making the boat “unsinkable”. The deck is also self bailing with the open transom and side dive door design allowing water to escape from the deck quickly.
This unit's hull design creates a minimal wake designed for high speed pursuit in "no wake" areas as well as rescue situations in heavy seas.
