Fire Boats
There’s STRONG . . . .
Then there’s ARMSTRONG.

Serious Vessels--Serious Jobs
RELIABLE-No surprises. In emergency response situations, surprises mean danger.
You need a vessel that provides a sturdy platform in multiple sea states and
equipment that is integrated into the boat for quick, dependable use. Armstrong fire
boats are designed and built specifically for the job you do.
VERSATILE-No two emergencies are the same. When you respond, you need a
vessel that adapts to the situation as well as you do. These boats give you maximum
flexibility in the field to react in the capacity that is required.
TOUGH-Failure is not an option. You train and prepare to respond quickly and
assuredly. The boat you choose needs to be strong enough to tackle the scenes you
plunge into. Armstrong hulls are fast and rugged so you can have the confidence to
push the limits in times of need.

Maximum Flexibility
The Transformer
Destination: anywhere.
Imagine the flexibility of a boat with
a fully enclosed cabin that fits nicely
in a standard size shipping container.
Armstrong is a step ahead of the
remote location issue. Designed in two
pieces, this monohull fire boat can be
delivered anywhere in the world that
can be reached by a shipping container.
The comparatively low shipping
cost combined with the value of the
Armstrong vessel makes this the most
competitive package in the industry.

Outboard Catamarans
The twin hull configuration results in a big
boat feel and platform more stable than the
monohull alternative. The walk around work
deck comes standard with hydraulic bow ramp
for beach access or dive support. Multiple
choices for outboards provide sprint speeds of
more than 45 knots. Engine driven pumps are
mounted on the aft deck with proper sea chest
suction. The system can be plumbed to one or
more monitors.

Diesel Jets
Adding to the advantages of choosing a
catamaran platform, diesel inboard engines
paired to water jets combine speed with
maneuverability to make the ultimate fire
fighting vessels. Diesel engines are known
for longevity while water jets also offer low
maintenance costs. The resulting vessels offer
an extended operating life and long-term value
for the investment. The fire systems include
options for multiple monitors, foam system(s),
de-watering valve(s), and more.

HOW THE
SYSTEM WORKS

THE THIEF
Maneuverability and accurate positioning are of utmost importance in emergency
situations. Hull design, propulsion, and fire fighting systems must be chosen to give
operators precise control of the vessel.
To enable this, Armstrong utilizes drive through pumps (also known as split drive
shaft pumps) in our diesel jet drive fireboats. This integrates the fire pumping system
into the vessel drive line via a gearbox and a clutch. Controls for the pump are located
at the helm station.
This pump and drive type provides the ideal solution for fireboats. As multiple
monitors engage to spray high volumes of water, the generated thrust moves a
stationary vessel. An immense amount of available power resides in the main engines
of the boat. The drive through pump takes only a small amount of horsepower
from the engine, leaving the remaining power for the water jets. With the engines
operating at the optimum RPMs for the fire pumps, the bucket controls and steering
system keeps the operator in full control of the vessel. Maneuverability remains
excellent, and the boat can be held in position for extended support time.
Weight also plays a major role in the performance of any boat. The split drive shaft
pumps eliminate the need for heavy, spacious, and costly auxiliary engines, yielding
increased payload, more storage capacity, and overall greater operating efficiency.
