APPARATUS

MR-576

MR-576 is assigned to all water rescue operations in the Schuyler Hose protection area.  SHC covers waterways that include the Hudson River, Fish Creek and the Battenkill.

MR-576 is a 2005 17' Zumro inflatable rescue boat.  The all inflatable boat features six parallel airtight chambers to maintain hull integrity even under the worst conditions.  The stacked tube self bailing catamaran design offers stability and interior space.  It features a high safe freeboard, with a lower bow for "over-the-bow" entry into the boat.  The unique bow hatch is an innovative way to get rescuers or victims into the boat.  The boat is equipped with a 60hp Mercury Bigfoot Outboard also new in 2005.
