Marine Program

EJFR’s marine program, headed up by Assistant Chief Brian Tracer, is responsible for an extensive geographical area including Port Townsend Bay, the Admiralty Inlet, the waters around Marrowstone Island and Naval Magazine Indian Island, Protection Island and the northern half of Discovery Bay.

Our Marine program consists of a highly trained team of rescue swimmers, operators and marine trained EMT’s and Paramedics. East Jefferson is surrounded by frigid Pacific water on three sides and we have many boat assists, man overboard and aid calls on boats moored in our area. Our 33′ fire boat, Guardian, is moored in the Port of Port Townsend.


Marine 1 ‘GUARDIAN

Marine 1

Marine 1, Guardian, was purchased in 2011 using a Department of Homeland Security Port Security grant. The boat uses a 330 HP Kodiak 5.7 engine to provide marine firefighting capability. The American Turbine Jet pump can achieve volumes of 1,250 gallons per minute at 125 PSI out of the bow-located Task Force Tips Hurricane fire monitor. It can also produce 3,000 gallons per minute at 50 PSI to feed a land-based fire engine with unlimited amounts of sea water in the event of a waterfront fire.

Through a unique diverter just aft of the pump engine, water can be diverted from the firefighting plumbing to an exit at the stern of the craft, providing forward thrust to achieve speeds of approximately 8 knots. This allows boat operators to turn off the outboards and safely maneuver to pick up victims in the water. The boat is equipped with a full electronics package, including a Forward-Looking Infrared Camera (FLIR) mounted on the roof. This improves operators’ ability to locate vessels and people in the water in low-light conditions. Inside the cabin is a full-length patient casualty bench which allows treatment of patients while underway.


 

Marine 7

Marine 7

Marine 7 was received in 2016 from North Kitsap Fire Rescue (NKFR) through an inter-local agreement when they received a new boat through a DHS Port Security Grant.  Manufactured in 2001 by Lifetimer, the 29 foot Marine 7 is powered by a 375 HP Yanmar Diesel in-board with a Kodiak 403 jet drive propulsion unit. This allows for superior maneuverability and near shore operations with the unit able to be beached for shore access and has a top speed of 27 knots. An enclosed cabin with the ability for a full-length patient casualty bench allows for treatment of patients while underway. Firefighting capability is by a deck mounted Darley fire pump rated for a 380 gallons per minute.

The primary response area is from the Hood Canal along the Coyle Peninsula north to Squamish Harbor, Bywater Bay and the waters off of Hoods Head. It also serves Paradise Bay, Ludlow Bay, Mats Mats Bay, and Oak Bay to the waters south of Naval Magazine Indian Island and Marrowstone Island.  Through our mutual aid partnership with NKFR, when requested, Marine 7 provides first due response to the waters of Port Gamble, and the areas of Hansville and Foulweather Bluff.
