Dusseldorf 1/25 Scale 1172mm (45.7") Fireboat - RTR from Bancroft - BNC1057-003(OB) - OPEN BOX

The Düsseldorf Firefighting Boat, known as the "Feuerlöschboot Düsseldorf," is a crucial asset in the German city's emergency response infrastructure, particularly for incidents on the Rhine River and within the bustling harbor area. This specialized vessel is equipped with advanced firefighting and rescue equipment, enabling it to tackle fires, hazardous material spills, and rescue operations with efficiency and precision.

Designed to deliver high volumes of water or foam through powerful water cannons, the boat can effectively combat large-scale fires on ships, waterfront buildings, and industrial facilities. Its high-capacity pumps (over 20,000 gallons per minute) provide a powerful water stream drawn directly from the river or onboard reservoirs, allowing sustained firefighting efforts even in challenging conditions.

The Feuerlöschboot Düsseldorf also plays a pivotal role in rescue missions, providing a stable and accessible platform for evacuating individuals from hazardous situations. Advanced navigation systems and communication equipment enable seamless coordination with other emergency services, ensuring a comprehensive and integrated response.

Over the years, the boat has undergone various upgrades to incorporate the latest technologies, enhancing its firefighting and rescue capabilities. This modernization ensures that the vessel remains a state-of-the-art tool in protecting Düsseldorf's residents, infrastructure, and environment from waterborne emergencies.
