Pumps and Plumbing
The Fire-Master’s typical configuration is a forward mounted pump fully plumbed to draw water from a filtered outlet built into the rear of the pontoon.

| Twin Engines for Greater Maneuverability
The Fire-Master is typically equipped with twin engines, which provide greater control for all situations. By operating one engine in a forward mode while reversing the other, the boat can maneuver in extremely confined areas. The motors are protected by being placed behind the pontoons, helping to avoid contact with logs and debris. Furthermore, the second engine provides a redundant fail-safe system in the event of a motor failure or damage.
The Metalite Marine Fire-Master is designed to be a reliable and durable fire-fighting machine. Motors and configurations may be selected based upon the power, speed and maneuverability you need for your fire-fighting requirements.
For safety, the fuel tanks may be integrated into the pontoon(s) along with other storage requirements as needed. An on-board portable fuel storage option is also available.
