Cincinnati OH Boat 1 - a photo on Flickriver

            Cincinnati OH Boat 1
1944 GMC DUKW
500 GPM
Shop #4601   In service on 12/12/59

Boat 1 is preparing to go into the Little Miami River and proceed to the Ohio River to assist with a boat that had sunk.  They are entering from a marina that was located at the intersection of Kellogg Avenue and Salem Road.

Boat 3 was already in the water and they requested a second boat.  Boat 1 had to come from Engine 6's quarters and travel roughly 5 - 6 miles to this location.  I heard this run come in, waited for another guy to show up, drove 7 - 8 miles and when I turned on to Kellogg Avenue the boat was 4 blocks behind me.  You could say they were slow.  Engine 6 followed behind with the other firefighters.

There were three of these in service and all were cross-staffed by the engine company whose quarters they shared.  Each was equipped with a 500 GPM pump.  CFD had a fourth DUKW still painted olive drab that was never converted to a fire boat.  All of these were sold around 1980.
