Hydrotech: Fireboats - TacSupport1 - 05-28-2013
For anyone interested in Fireboats, there is a show called "Hydrotech" about all different kinds of water related technology. The most recent episode featured Seattle FD Fireboats and a quest to develop, design, and build new fireboats that will serve the city's diverse water fire suppresion and rescue needs. Very cool show
Quote:HydroTech: Fireboats
With the very real threat of destructive fires and terrorism, the Seattle Fire Department has embarked on an ambitious plan. They're stocking up with two state-of-the-art, multi-million dollar fireboats that are capable of everything from fourth of July celebrations to being a deterrent to coastal terrorism. Fireboats have a long and proud history - from Shanghai to Seattle, the Great Chicago Fire, and of course, 9/11. We'll see how these floating fire trucks are built, and more importantly, what they can do when disaster strikes.
It's on the Smithsonian Channel (SMT).
