RIBCRAFT Delivers RIBCRAFT 5.85s to Rhode Island DEM

RIBCRAFT delivers two RIBCRAFT 5.85s to the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management. As the leading manufacturer of professional grade rigid inflatable boats (RIBs) for law enforcement, safety professionals, and military agencies around the world, RIBCRAFT provides the ultimate patrol boat.

Marblehead, MA, May 2022 – The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (RIDEM) recently took delivery of two 19’ RIBCRAFT 5.85s. As the first true RIBs in their fleet, these versatile vessels will serve as rapid response deployable vessels throughout the state.

With larger hard-sided patrol vessels already in use, the department was in need of a multipurpose watercraft that was easily handled and operated by a single officer that could still support a variety of operations regardless of the conditions. The first two RIBCRAFT 5.85s will be deployed in freshwater lakes, coastal ponds, inshore bays, and along the coast for patrol, enforcement, and emergency response and rescue.

Featuring a center console with front bench seat and leaning post, T-top, fore and aft tow posts, and engine crash rail, the boats are specifically configured to support the varied operational capabilities while still maintaining open deck space. With a black multi-chambered heavy-duty Hypalon tube and reinforced deep v hull, the 5.85s provide a durable, stable, and seaworthy platform regardless of the operational waters and sea conditions. Powered by a single 115HP Mercury four-stroke outboard, the boats will reach speeds in excess of 40 knots.

Features of the RIBCRAFT 5.85s include:

·         Deep V fiberglass hull

·         Center console with front bench seat and leaning post

·         Fore and aft tow posts

·         Crash Rail

·         Aluminum T-Top with electronics box

·         360-degree scene lighting

·         Reinforced heavy duty black 1670 DTX Hypalon tubes

·         Complete Garmin navigation system

Extremely durable, stable, and reliable, RIBCRAFT RIBs with their heavy-duty inflatable tube and deep V hull are an excellent platform for law enforcement, search and rescue, and marine interdiction.

San Bernardino County (CA) Fire Engine Struck on Freeway

At 2:34 a.m. Friday, San Bernardino County Fire’s Medic Engine 76 (ME76) was struck while on-scene of a traffic collision, a Facebook post reads. Firefighters from the Bloomington fire station had responded to a reported traffic collision on the westbound 10 freeway near Sierra Ave in Fontana and had spotted to safely block the incident scene.

While on-scene of the traffic accident, a big rig struck the apparatus from behind. Thankfully all SBCoFD personnel were outside of the apparatus when it was struck and were not injured by the secondary collision. Immediately after the secondary collision, firefighter-paramedics assessed for injuries and provided immediate care to two passengers in the large vehicle. Thankfully both parties inside the truck had minor injuries and declined transport. The apparatus was successful in shielding the original scene, and no first responders or members of the public were injured by the secondary collision. Unfortunately, ME76 sustained significant damage. Crews from Station 76 have moved into a reserve apparatus, so they can continue to provide service to Bloomington and the surrounding area. California Highway Patrol is investigating the cause of both collisions.

North Park (IL) Fire Protection District Lobbies for New, Modern $5M Station

The North Park Fire Protection District wants one modern station to replace two of its three fire stations. To do so, the district will ask voters to approve a June 28 referendum which would let the district sell bonds and construct a $5 million facility.

The stations were built way back—two in the early ‘50s and one in 1964—and lack modern necessities. The plan is to combine the Wood Avenue and Harlem Road stations, as well as the administrative building, into one facility. The potential new digs would be located on two parcels of district-owned land on Harlem Road.

The North Alpine Road station would remain in service under the plan.

If passed, construction could start in the fall. Hear more about the plan below:
