Fire Commissioner Salvatore J. Cassano commissioned the newest FDNY fireboat, Bravest, in Battery Park City, Manhattan. The Bravest is a $2.4 million, jet-powered fireboat, custom built by SAFE Boats International. The 65-foot, 80,000-pound vessel has a top speed of more than 50mph. It pumps 7,000 gallons of water per minute and carries 200 gallons of firefighting foam. It also is equipped with a Purple-K dry chemical fire suppression system, which is used for fuel-fed fires.
