PRODUCT >> 380TD - Firefly

The Firefly is a 380TD hovercraft equipped to deal with a range of incidents including rescuing people who became trapped in the mud and providing support to the area during times of inland flooding.

The 380TD is the smallest craft in the Griffon range, capable of carrying 6 persons or a payload of 450kgs. The 380TD is a rugged rigid-inflatable hovercraft and benefits from having two diesel engines, one for lift and one for thrust, improving craft control in a rescue scenario. With the hover-on hover-off trailer, one person can quickly and easily transport and operate this unique vessel virtually anywhere.

The Firefly can be used to complement the capabilities of rescue operations and the coast guard. The hovercraft can be a major asset to these services.

The Firefly increases the flexibility of rescue operations and adds rescue capacity. It can assist with incidents along the shoreline and other more remote locations, where fire appliances may not be able to reach.

This craft can reach trapped casualties in just a few minutes, and also ensure the safety of firefighters, who until now had to walk out onto the mud and risk becoming stuck themselves.

Clearly with the flooding we have seen recently a hovercraft can be a huge asset on inland waterways, but we also believe the hovercraft could be used to ferry equipment and staff to incidents such as animal rescues on soft ground or road traffic collisions that may involve a beach.
