Tis the Season for Boat Calls

[irishfire2491 24]

Tis the Season for Boat calls and Medical Emergenices on the water.

Just wondering What Departments have Marine Units and what can they be used for Rescue, Firefighting, Divers Medical Emergicies

Do you have your boat in the water or do you tow your boat

As per Verplanck we still operate a boat even know the big one sank but we still operate a small boat that we tow to the boat launch, To Lens Cove, Peekskill River Front, Steamboat Dock, or Georges Island

The only problem is that is becomes Time Consuming Expecialy for a Real Emergency When People need our Help

Wish we could have our boats in the water for the summer. Maybe some nice hours of 10-10 would be great too. Maybe someday.

Irvington Marine 4 has been stationed in Tarrytown for a few years as we were working on plans for a lift system. Prior to being stationed in Tarrytown, Marine 4 was at floating docks at the Irvington Boat Club. The boat club in Irvington is in unprotected waters and the docks were often broken during storms. We've even had a few instances where our "unsinkable boat" had sunk. Our new lift was installed last week and the electric was completed yesterday. The lift allows the boat to be raised in and out of the water as needed. Pictures attached of Marine 4 back home on its new lift.

Irvington also took delivery of a new 11ft inflatable last month. Designated Marine 44 this vessel replaced an aging and broken 10ft zodiac inflatable. It is powered by a 15hp Johnson engine and transported on either our engines or rescue.

I spotted Marine 7 underway from Nyack Beach State Park last Memorial Day! Nice to see her up close and personal! Question: Does she go "on patrol" or something or does she only roll for calls? Thanks. Nice to see them boats!

I have a question we just bought an inflatable boat 12ft 6inchs with a 9.9 horse power motor. We bought it after the 2 floods we had,maybe too late but never the less we have it now. My question is we have a number issued by the county Marine 35 but I thought marine units were always in the water or docked? Our boat would be trailered. We also bought dry suits and life vests along with rescue rope rated for water use. What I guess I'm asking is,is it a Marine unit really? My intention with the boat is for rescue in my response area and also if another department needed it of course we would be there. A number of my members have water rescue and we are also taking it again. Just looking for some input.

Thanks

Dino-

As per the WCDES website "Valid Unit Types" your boat falls under a "Rescue Only" vessel and IS listed under "Marine 35" as a 12-foot "Zodiac" (I guess that's like calling tissues "kleenex")

MARINE VESSELS

Valid Prefix

(MAR = Marine)

#’s 1-20 will have pump capacity / Marine units 20 and above will be rescue only.

-A class “A” unit shall be a minimum of 65ft & have a pump capacity of 5000gpm, a minimum of 2 pumps, 2 generators, 4 monitors, and respond with a minimum crew of 3.

-A class “B” unit shall be a minimum of 20ft & have a pump capacity of 2500gpm, a minimum of 1 pump, 1 generator, 2 monitors, and respond with a minimum crew of 2.

-A class “C” unit shall be a minimum of 20ft & have a pump capacity of 500gpm, a minimum of 1 pump, 1 monitor, and respond with a minimum crew of 2. Rescue boats will be categorized here as well but will not receive a class rating.

Hope that helps!
