Lake Norman (NC) Fireboat

[johnvv 20]

1/10- Lake Norman fire Department (NC) has taken delivery of a new fireboat. I don't know too much about it. It is about 40' in length, and it has a large door on its side that I assumed allowed easier acess to the water for the removal of patients. Its to be in service by April.

FYI-Lake Norman is the largest fresh water lake in the state. It has 520 miles of shoreline and is 34 miles long and 8 miles wide. Its also a great lake to fish, take it from me!
