New Fireboat 48
   The Tinicum Township Fire Co. was recently awarded a Port Security Grant for a fireboat. The Boat committee decided to go with a Firehawk 30 Aluminum boat from Harbor Guard Boats. The overall length of the vessel will be 32’. The vessel will be powered by twin gas Mercury Verado 300hp 4-stroke V6 super charged outboard engines which will be able to do approximately 43 knots. The 3rd engine will be a jet drive mounted midship 385hp Kodiak Marine V8 which will drive the fire pump at a rate of 2000 GPM. The pilot house will also serve as a ambulance for any injured patients that we may have in are waterways. A tentative date for delivery will be early spring of 2012.
