Boom Bay Fire Department Takes Delivery of SAR Airboat
Alumitech, Inc., in Orlando, Florida announces the delivery of an 18-foot Search and Rescue (SAR) airboat to the Boom Bay Fire Department, Larsen, Wisconsin.
The SAR airboat is an 18’ x 8’ aluminum hull airboat specifically designed for search and rescue operations. Built from Alumitech’s standard AGI A-model, the SAR airboat was beefed up for winter and prolonged ice operation, with half-inch polymer covering the hull bottom and sides and increased hull framing. The airboat is powered by a GM 496 cu. in, 525 hp, fuel injection engine, capable of running on 87 octane unleaded fuel, a 2.3:1 ratio belt-drive gear reduction unit and a 3-blade Sensenich composite propeller.
Alumitech’s unique SAR airboat hull design affords a 5-person crew seating capacity, while providing maximum equipment storage capability. The enclosed hull/walk around deck provides a stable work platform for divers, as well as, a secure patient treatment area. The vessel’s total carrying capacity is 8-10 adults or a 3,200 total pound load capacity.
Also, included in the hull’s design are watertight storage compartments adequate for the storage of thermal imaging cameras, AED/Defibrillators and other electronic equipment.
The SAR airboat is equipped with a full illumination package that features dual 600,000 candlepower remote control search lights, running lights, scene floodlights and red strobe emergency warning lights, all powered off the vessel’s 90 amp alternator. In addition, the SAR airboat is equipped with a 1,000 watt generator, for prolonged night rescue operations.
“The addition of Alumitech’s SAR airboat will be a great asset to the Boom Bay Fire Department’s equipment fleet,” said Ken Kronshnabel, with the Boom Bay Fire Department and responsible for the procurement of the rescue boat. “It will greatly enhance our water and ice rescue capabilities, while reducing the risks to our rescue personnel. The airboat is a quality piece of rescue equipment. We are proud to have it.”
