FireStorm 30 with Outboards Aluminum Fireboat
See also our FireStorm 30 Standard Fireboat model.
The Firestorm-30
is a New Generation of fireboat. It provides more speed, maneuverability & pumping capacity than any
other boat in its class. It is the highest pumping 30' fireboat in North America. It is fitted with
a Darley pump that produced flow meter results of 1800 GPM with a single 1250 GPM Outboard powered
N.F.P.A. pump. High pump numbers are due to a unique MetalCraft Marine proprietary designed sea chest.
This sea chest has an intake three times the cross sectional area of the main, can be inspected and
cleaned while underway and provides a positive head to the pump. The monitor location is central to
good design and is close to the centre of buoyancy of the boat. This permits the helmsman to pivot
the boat around the thrust load at low RPM, similar to the load of 3 towboat. Operators are amazed
at the boat's control under full streaming at any angle. The boat's head never blows off its course.
Simplicity is the key to the fire system, and is based on fire truck system design for ease of maintenance
and reparability. The FS-30 packs a huge punch for its small size and can get into the smallest of
