Pushing the Boat Out - Dennis F123 TL / Fire Boat
The above picture shows the Tinea Fire Boat being launched on the River Tyne at Spillers Quay. The Dennis Delta F123/Magirus is used to crane the boat from the transporter and position it over the quay side. An electric winch lowers the boat into the river. The TL ladder is kept at a fixed elevation (approx 45 degreess) throughout the whole operation. The winch is powered from a 110V generator which is carried by the transporter. If the boat is required for a pumping operation a fire pump is lowered onto the boat once it is in the water.
