Description

Atlantis Models HarbourFire Boat – a genuine Atlantis Models model kit (product code AMCL72121).

1:160 scale. Measures 5.5 inches long when complete. Nice little detailed kit. The models in this particular kit are designed for general use in N-scale (1:160) model railroad layouts or waterfront dioramas. While specific, individual boat histories are not associated with these generic models, their real-world counterparts have rich histories as vital parts of maritime commerce and service.

Fireboats are specialized vessels with powerful pumps and hoses used to fight fires from the water, often protecting port facilities and ships. The first fireboats, dating to the late 18th century, were tugboats, retrofitted with firefighting equipment. They are frequently used for fighting fire son docks and shore side warehouses as they can directly attack fires in the supporting underpinnings of these structures. They also have an effectively unlimited supply of water available, pumping directly from below the hull. Fireboats are usually seen by the public when welcoming a fleet or historical ships when they shoot large arcs of water in the air with their powerful water cannons.
