FIREHAWK 24-26 Product Highlights and Innovations:
Patented - Dual 8’ collapsible dive platform doors. These doors are hydraulically controlled from the drivers helm with a manual override. 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 FIREHAWK (Fire model) also provides a 1250 GPM Darley fire pump and bow mounted Elkhart 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.
Twin V8 Jet drives can also be installed One jet drive would be utilized for fire suppression , diverting 100% of flow to the deck monitor. Flow is 2000 GPM. The second jet drive is used to keep the boat on station and to manuever while flowing water.
2/3’s of the hull is foam filled. Making the boat “unsinkable”. The deck is also self bailing with the open transom design and with the side dive doors allowing water to escape from the deck.
Units can also be outfitted with Heavy Duty 10" or 18" Dia. D-shaped foam fendering, for units used for frequent boarding other vessels. |
