Default CFD Fast Rescue Boat 6-8-8

Those of you attending the Air & Water Show may see this newest apparatus. It's docked at the DuSable Harbor at Randolph & Lake Shore Drive. They will respond to any boating emergency or water rescue. Went in service Tue. Aug. 11th...i've heard them quite a bit, as we've had alot of water related emergencies lately.

Nice pictures Ted! They responded to an incident on the Sanitary & Ship Canal yesterday (31st Western), and were able to assisit two people out of the water. Nice to see CFD get a speed boat after all these years.

Thumbs up

COOL! I was wondering what that was when I was on watch (USCG) Saturday and heard them on the radio. We never get updated on things like this. Does an engine company man 6-8-8? Does it have FF capability?

Default Thats a pretty

Thats a pretty cool shot, and I'm loving the boat. A speed boat is a new direction, but I can see its many benefits. FF Capabilities would slow it down a tad I think, to supply a feed line, but then again after carefully looking at the picture it appears to have a deck gun of types.

Manned by members of the Air-Sea-Rescue Unit. Yes, as noted, deck gun for firefighting. They respond to boat fires as well.
