“Fire Flash” fire boat
Albert Embankment
Lambeth
London, September 2014
“A fire engine on the water. Our current fire boats were specially built for London Fire Brigade. They are a class of boat called a ‘Wave Patroller’, and each has a slightly different specification. Fire Dart and Fire Flash are both fast twin-engined, single-hulled landing crafts. They have been designed with shallow draft – a flat bottom – for use on rivers and inland waterways. Both have a reinforced keel, so we can ‘beach’ the boats on the Thameside and lower our access ramp without harm.” (Fire boats, London Fire Commissioner)
