One of Portland, Oregon's two new twin custom fireboats is Fireboat 21.
It was built in 2015 by Oregon Iron Works in Clackamas, just up the Willamette
River
from the Station 21 Boathouse where it is now.
The fast attack style vessel is 55' LOA with 15' beam.
The pumps are rated at about 8,000 gpm with an assortment of large
deck monitors and a manifold system capable of supplying shore companies.
While difficult to fully utilize the boat's power and speed within the rivers
system in the Portland area, the boat could be capable of 40 knots.
Fire Station 21 is located at 5 SE Madison St across from downtown
at the East Bank / Hawthorne district. It was originally built in 1961
and fully renovated in 2014 with the new boathouse.
Engine 21, Utility 21, a Spare Squad, Fireboat 21 and Rescue boat 21 are
