The fireboats used by the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) Marine Firefighting Division employ Rotork's IQ range 90° rotation electric actuators to maintain the city's safety. The 90° rotation IQ actuators are used on two fireboats, "Firefighter 2" and "Firefighter 343." The IQ plays a crucial role in controlling the water flow to the deck's firefighting water spray nozzles, which is essential during emergencies. New York is one of the busiest port cities in the world, with a coastline extending 560 miles. For many years, the FDNY has addressed firefighting-related incidents on land and at sea using fireboats. The fireboats draw water from the river, and the actuators control the flow of water supplied to the firefighting water spray nozzles, allowing the fireboats to access an unlimited water supply even in emergencies. It is very important to constantly manage the water flow supplied to the spray nozzles. The IQ actuators were installed due to the failure of existing electric actuators. The IQ actuators are not only waterproof but also feature a double seal structure with an IP66/68 rating (withstanding depths of 7 meters for 72 hours).
