Dan McInerney from the Oak Park and Countryside Fire Departments recently shared a link with us pointing to the CFD website, where they’ve been updating everyone on the progress of the new fireboat. The information below comes directly from that link. --- The Chicago Fire Department is in the process of acquiring a brand-new NFPA Type III Fireboat. This state-of-the-art vessel will serve as a replacement for the current 60-year-old fireboat, the Victor L. Schlaeger. Designed and constructed to handle the demanding conditions of Lake Michigan, the Chicago River, and the surrounding harbors, this fireboat will be equipped to tackle a wide range of emergencies, including firefighting, rescue operations, responses to Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive incidents (CBRNE), hazardous materials decontamination, dive missions, and other water-related emergencies. --- **Construction Update - June 11, 2010** The construction of the new Chicago Fireboat is proceeding smoothly according to schedule. As of now, most of the hull structure has been fully assembled, and the hull plating has been expertly fitted. Simultaneously, the aluminum deckhouse is also being fabricated. The attention to detail in both the structural integrity and design is evident at every step of the process. --- **Construction Update - March 1, 2010** Construction officially kicked off in February 2010. The cut steel sections for the hull were delivered to the shipyard, and work has since focused on assembling the hull structure. It's impressive to see how quickly the project is moving forward. --- **Contract Award - August 3, 2009** The contract to build this advanced NFPA Type III Fireboat was awarded to Hike Metal Products back in June 2009. The construction phase is set to commence in 2010, with an expected delivery date in 2011. The Chicago Fire Department is clearly investing in modernizing its fleet to ensure they can continue providing top-tier service to the city. --- For those interested in staying updated, I recommend checking the link regularly for any further developments. The anticipation is high as this new fireboat promises to enhance the department's capabilities significantly. --- Stay tuned for more updates as this exciting project progresses!
