First off, God Bless man. I personally am a year round volunteer with our local Fire & Rescue but rarely see much river time as our idiots can usually just stand up... That is not a joke, most rescues are us driving to the side of the river and yelling "Stand Up" than the guy looks at us like were dumb followed by 30 mins of him standing there realizing he was the dumbass.

Onto my question: I see from your picture you seem to have what I assume to be a non-standard boat pictured, in your usual activity (not in emergencies where any boat will do) what does your department usually use? We have a new Zodiac although many of the department still prefers our old aluminium beast as rescue is simpler for combative swimmers.

I can understand that, we have only 2 paid members in our entire department which has 3 boats, ~20 trucks, and about 65 rescue personnel. Again, I wish you the bast and hope you stay safe out there!
