Lake Township Vol. Fire Department Takes Delivery of New Rescue Airboat
Alumitech, Inc., in Orlando, Florida announces the delivery of an 18-foot Search and Rescue (SAR) airboat to the Lake Township Vol. Fire Department, Haughton Lake, Michigan.
(PRWEB) July 27, 2004 -- 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 3/8-inch polymer covering the hull bottom and sides and
increased hull framing. The airboat is powered by a GM 496 cu. in, 425 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.
The Lake Township Vol. Fire Department’s airboat has a
6-person crew seating capacity, an open hull and a 3,200 total pound load
capacity. The vessel is designed with side-by-side operator and co-pilot
seating, with a center instrument panel and a four-man forward crew
seat.
The Lake Township Vol. Fire Department expects its new SAR airboat
to be a great enhancement for winter ice rescue operations. It is also their
intention to also use it for other water related emergencies on the many lakes
within its territory and for mutual aid in neighboring communities in the
Haughton Lake area.
