Operations
Marine Operations
The Marine Operations Division was started in 1997 to provide protection in the various waterways in and adjacent to the city.[4] The team is trained in both open water and swiftwater rescue as well as marine firefighting.[4] Two Zodiac inflatables (Boat 204 and Boat 214) are available to be rapidly deployed in all weather conditions. The inflatables are designed to be towed by either Engine 204 or Support Unit 204 (a Chevy Suburban), which is equipped with a variety of water rescue equipment.[4] Additionally the division has a 50-foot (15 m) MetaCraft Firestorm 50 fireboat equipped with two 3,400-US-gallon-per-minute (13,000 L/min) attached to 4 fire monitors.[5]
