Valcourt, Québec, April 2, 2014- BRP adds a
utility vehicle to its Sea-Doo line-up with the SAR model, a Search and
Rescue watercraft designed for emergency response operations. It will
be unveiled during the Fire Department Instructors Conference (FDIC) in
Indianapolis, Indiana, from April 10-12, 2014.
“We are pleased to introduce a utility vehicle dedicated to
professionals whose job is to save lives,” said Yves Leduc,
vice-president and general manager for BRP’s North America division.
“Our engineers worked closely with end users to make sure the SAR
watercraft answers their needs. Those who tested it are eager to add it
to their water rescue fleet,” he added.
The Sea-Doo SAR watercraft combines the features rescue professionals
need to respond to life-threatening situations. It is designed for
everything from surf and white water to flood and other emergency
situations.
The sponsons and running boards add the stability and
buoyancy needed in surf and white water; the heavy-duty front bumper and
elastomer hull coating are adapted to navigation along rocky coasts;
and features such as the anti-debris water intake grate, the stainless
steel wear ring, and the internal heat exchanger with shock-protected
cooling system, improve shallow-water capabilities.
“At the Chambly Fire Department, we wanted to minimize the risk of
injury to our water rescue team while improving the performance of our
watercraft. We worked with BRP engineers at developing a safe, robust
yet powerful and nimble SAR watercraft, one tailored to our needs,” said
Nicolas Drapeau, Deputy Fire Chief.
