Ithaca Fire Department sets sail with new fire boat
The Ithaca Fire Department announced the delivery of a new fire boat, in a statement. The boat is a Lake Assault Boat, made in Superior, Wisconsin. The Ithaca Fire Department serves the south end of Cayuga Lake, and this craft will fill a significant rescue and firefighting gap on the lake and along its shores, officials said in the statement.

Filling a need The need for a more advanced and capable fire boat has existed for a long time. The department is often called to the lake for boat fires, sinking boats, and fire and medical emergencies on the water and along the shore. Firefighting (both structure and vegetation) along the west and east shores can be difficult because of limited road access, steep terrain, and water supply issues, department officials said in the statement. The boat will dramatically improve the department's ability to help. It can fight fire with its on-board water cannon, supply onshore fire apparatus or deploy hose lines directly from the boat. Marine 1 will be available to mutual aid partners on Cayuga Lake
