Portland Fireboat 17
"skunkum ats"
Portland's "new" Fireboat 17 is one of two twin boats built by Oregon Iron Works in 2015.
55' LOA - 15' beam
8,000 gpm - (1) 4,000 gpm roof mounted monitor and (2) 1500 gpm bow monitors

This Fireboat 17 and Rescue Boat 17 are docked in Heyden Bay on the north side of Hayden Island
in the middle of the Columbia River, on the northside of Portland across the river from Washington.
These boats are staffed by the crew of Station 17 which is located down the road a little at
848 North Tomahawk Island Drive. That station operates Engine 17, a spare engine, and
another "older" Fireboat 17 named the "Vernon R Buss" which is located behind Station 17
with access to the southern side of the island. The crew takes whichever vessel is closest
to a particular incident.
