Description

The MetalCraft Marine FireStorm 46/48 High-Speed Aluminum Fireboat represents a new generation in fireboat technology. It is a culmination of years of study and research into high volume pumping systems and their effects on a small boat's stability, controllability, dynamic loading and righting moments. The FireStorm 46/48 is fitted with twin Darley pumps that produced flow meter results of 3600 GPM from two 1500 GPM pumps. 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 center of buoyancy of the boat. This permits the helmsman to pivot the 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 repairability.
