Nathan Hale (fireboat)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nathan Hale is an emergency vessel operated by the city of New Haven, Connecticut, United States.[1] She serves both the New Haven Fire Department and the New Haven Police Department.
When she was launched in 2013 she was New Haven's first fireboat in 20 years.[2] Following the attacks on September 11, 2001, the Department of Homeland Security created the Port Security Grant Fund to provide smaller ports with emergency vessels.
The Nathan Hale is a 36 foot (11 m) Metal Craft Marine Firestorm model, capable of pumping 4800 gallons per minute.[3]
