GLT Acquires Fireboat Anthony J. Celebrezze
The 61-foot Celebrezze, formerly owned by the city of Cleveland, Ohio, is a twin screw, 600 HP tug, equipped with two fire pumps and five monitors, providing a total of 6,000 gallons per minute of off-slip firefighting capacity. The Celebrezze, named after the 49th mayor of Cleveland, has been around for decades. It has been a valuable resource for the Cleveland Fire Department, serving as a base for the dive team and facilitating firefighting operations along the river, including the infamous Cuyahoga River fire in 1969.
