Can anyone identify this vessel. It has an indecipherable emblem on the bow, the word FIRE across the front of the cabin and has a blue light at her mast, so obviously belongs to some official body 10 September. Robert replies : Re: identity of your photo of the fire boat image on your website.
This is one of the two fire and rescue boats used on the upper clyde.
I have attached two photos taken from my camera screen of the one which is more or less a permanent fixture on the pontoon at the riverside museum. The other one I believe is on a trailer and based at Knightswood fire station.
The emblem (not very clear in photo) is the fire brigade emblem.
Both these boats conduct rescue exercises on the River on a regular basis.
