Marina staff are very often the only ones available to fight boat fires on their marina during those first critical minutes after discovery of a fire. Once the hand held extinguishers are used up, marina staff can often do little else but wait for the Fire Department to arrive.

Marine Technologies have designed a very effective fire fighting tool for marinas. The M-Tech Instant Response Fire Cart has been designed for use as a first response to fires in the marina environment. Using sea water and not dependant on piped in water, it can quickly be manoeuvred, set up, and run by one person, to effectively deliver high-pressure water, with an optional mix of fire retardant foam, at high volume (up

to 300 litres per minute, some 4 times the volume of a standard fire hose reel).

The environmental friendly mixture of foam is especially suited for fires fuelled by fuel, plastics and fibreglass, which is often the case in marina fires.

This could easily be the most important investment you will ever make toward fire fighting equipment for your marina. It will give your staff a fighting chance to isolate the burning boat and, if not extinguish the fire outright, keep it under control until the professional fire fighters arrive.

Available accessories include: fire axe and grapnel hook.
