There’s STRONG . . . . Then there’s ARMSTRONG.

Serious Vessels--Serious Jobs RELIABLE-No surprises. In emergency response situations, surprises mean danger. You need a vessel that provides a sturdy platform in multiple sea states and equipment that is integrated into the boat for quick, dependable use. Armstrong fire boats are designed and built specifically for the job you do. VERSATILE-No two emergencies are the same. When you respond, you need a vessel that adapts to the situation as well as you do. These boats give you maximum flexibility in the field to react in the capacity that is required. TOUGH-Failure is not an option. You train...

Destination: anywhere. Imagine the flexibility of a boat with a fully enclosed cabin that fits nicely in a standard size shipping container. Armstrong is a step ahead of the remote location issue. Designed in two pieces, this monohull fire boat can be delivered anywhere in the world that can be reached by a shipping container. The comparatively low shipping cost combined with the value of the Armstrong vessel makes this the most competitive package in the industry.

Outboard Catamarans The twin hull configuration results in a big boat feel and platform more stable than the monohull alternative. The walk around work deck comes standard with a hydraulic bow ramp for beach access or dive support. Multiple choices for outboards provide sprint speeds of more than 45 knots. Engine driven pumps are mounted on the aft deck with proper sea chest suction. The system can be plumbed to one or more monitors.

TWIN DIESEL JET CATAMARANS Diesel Jets Adding to the advantages of choosing a catamaran platform, diesel inboard engines paired to water jets combine speed with maneuverability to make the ultimate fire fighting vessels. Diesel engines are known for longevity while water jets also offer low maintenance costs. The resulting vessels offer an extended operating life and long-term value for the investment. The fire systems include options for multiple monitors, foam system(s), de-watering valve(s), and more.

PUMP ENGAGEMENT 1. decrease engine RPM down to idle 2. shift marine gear/clutch to neutral 3. place jet buckets to neutral 4. shift pump transmission (pump engage), confirm pump engagement light is on 5. shift marine gear/clutch to drive 6. advance engine RPM up to pump operating pressure. Note: When the pump is engaged, the jet is also operating with the buckets in the neutral position. If the operator needs to maneuver to keep the boat on station, then the operator can engage the jet to forward or reverse. PUMP DISENGAGEMENT 1. decrease engine RPM down to idle 2. shift marine gear/clutch to...

THE THIEF Maneuverability and accurate positioning are of utmost importance in emergency situations. Hull design, propulsion, and fire fighting systems must be chosen to give operators precise control of the vessel. To enable this, Armstrong utilizes drive through pumps (also known as split drive shaft pumps) in our diesel jet drive fireboats. This integrates the fire pumping system into the vessel drive line via a gearbox and a clutch. Controls for the pump are located at the helm station. This pump and drive type provides the ideal solution for fireboats. As multiple monitors engage to spray...
