Supporting Rescue Operations with Innovative Marine Solutions

CPI Marine, we are proud to be part of initiatives that make a real difference, especially in emergency response situations. Recently, our collaboration with https://riverraptorjetboats.com has allowed us to provide a critical product to support rescue operations in the wake of natural disasters.

River Raptor delivered a demo boat equipped with our specialized collars to a fire company in the Asheville, NC area. This fire company had previously relied on whitewater rafts for search and rescue missions but now has access to a more effective solution. The boat, outfitted with our custom collars, enhances the vessel’s performance and durability, making it an essential tool in rescue efforts.

These types of collaborations are vital for improving safety and efficiency during rescue operations, particularly in areas affected by extreme weather events like Hurricane Helene. As described in a recent article about the environmental impacts of the hurricane, streams in the region were significantly altered, with invasive plants now thriving in the disturbed waters. The need for reliable, high-performance watercraft in these challenging environments has never been more evident.

We are excited to continue our partnership with River Raptor and contribute to the safety and success of search and rescue operations.
