Covington Fire Department
"Fireboat 1"
The City of Covington, Kentucky is located on the Ohio River across from Cincinnati, Ohio.

The Covington Fireboat 1 is a 2011 MetalCraft Marine FireStorm 30.
Equipped with twin Evinrude 300 HP outboards it is capable of 34 knots.
34' LOA - 10' 6" beam
Approx 1000 gpm

The boat was originally painted red and white.
An in-house refurbishing in 2017 resulted in the lower maintenance look
as well as keeping all systems up to date..

The boat is docked across the river from the Cincinnati Reds' ballpark
on Riverboat Row near where the Licking River meets the Ohio and
near the Taylor Southgate Bridge Rt 27.
That is a slightly different location and apparently temporary site from it original dock.

UPDATE OCT 2024
The Covington Boat appears to have been repainted red and white again.
It was also docked with the Cincinnati Boat 3.
