Station 17 – Hayden Island – Fire Boathouse

Built in 1994, Station 17 is a fire boat station situated in Jantzen Bay on Hayden Island. The members assigned to Station 17 protect over 100 miles of waterfront which includes the largest number of floating homes and boat moorages of any city in the United States. Station 17 is unique due to the specialized training of the members who must remain trained and ready to respond on a fire engine, the 46-foot Fire Boat Vernon Bus, a 35-foot fast-response rescue boat, or the 55-foot Fire Boat 17 “Skukum Ats”. The Skukum Ats was put in service in 2016 and was built by a local company, Oregon Iron Works. The 55 foot long, military grade fire boat is powered by two 1200 hp Detroit jet engines with a fire pump capacity of 8000 gallons per minute and has a top speed of 45 mph.. The station is well known in the neighborhood for its prize-winning waterfront rose garden, paid for by donations of island residents and cared for by the members of Station 17.
