The Düsseldorf fire-fighting boat was developed and built
by the Rheinwerft company of Mainz-Mombach, and it is operated in the Ruhr industrial
region of Germany. The vessel is
designed specifically to cope with disaster situations, such as a ship on
fire, a major oil leak or a harbor system in danger of explosion, and its
fire monitors, operating at a pressure of 10.5 bar, can hurl water or foam 45
m high and a distance of up to 95 m. The two V-12 engines produce a total of
930 kW (1260 BHP), giving the boat a maximum speed of around 37 km/hr.
The robbe kit of the "Düsseldorf" fire-fighting boat is large and
capacious enough to accommodate all the equipment required to emulate the
wide-ranging facilities of the full-size vessel. Optional working systems
include the fire monitors, crane, anchor winch, radar, searchlights, blue
light, horn and siren, and also the sound of the diesel engines. The plastic
hull is molded in thick-walled material, and it offers plenty of space for
the numerous mechanical and electronic parts required for the auxiliary
working systems. The model is propelled by two proven robbe Navy-Kompakt
power systems, giving it an impressive turn of speed. Four large rudders
guarantee extreme maneuvering capability both forwards and astern. The fire
monitors can be swiveled horizontally and vertically from the transmitter,
and with the recommended electric geared pump they can fire a jet of water a
distance of 6 - 8 m. If a working boat crane is fitted, the vacuum-molded
rowing board can be raised, swung outboard and lowered to the water in true
scale style.
