P2 - SEATTLE FIREBOAT 1

Seattle Fireboat 1
The City of Seattle, Washington built a "small boat" in 2006 to help serve the large and complex
area waterways around Seattle.

Fireboat 1 is a custom designed boat, built by MetalCraft Marine in 2006.
It is 50' LOA, with a pumping capacity around 6,000 gpm, and is considered
a fast boat with top speed of 30.5 knots. The boat meats CBRNE requirements.

It is stationed at Seattle Station 3 at the end of Dock 4 at the Fisherman's Terminal docks
on the Lake Washington Ship Canal / off W. Nickerson St, below the Ballard Bridge
along with larger and more senior fireboat "Chief Seattle"

A nearly identical Fireboat 2 was built and added to the fleet in 2014.

The end of Dock 4 is Seattle Fire Station 3
including Fireboat 1 and the Chief Seattle.
The station is not staffed until a call comes in
and a nearby engine company staffs the boat.
