Ranger Class P-2700 Fire Boat - The Christopher Wheatley

The Christopher Wheatley is a fireboat (1:1 Scale) delivered to the Chicago Fire Department in 2011. When she was delivered in April 2011, she was the first new fireboat to serve the city in sixty years. She replaced the Victor L. Schlaeger.

The vessel was built in Wheatley, Ontario, and was named after a young Chicago firefighter who had died in the line of duty in August 2010.

The vessel was designed specifically to function in an environment like Chicago, where she would be required to navigate shallow rivers, and pass under low bridges.

Water cannon on her aft deck is on an extensible mast that can be raised, and be lowered to pass under low bridges. Her radio mast can also be lowered, for passing under low bridges.

The vessel was designed by Canadian Naval Architects Robert Allan Ltd. and built in the Canadian shipyards of Hike Metal Products.

Chicago keeps the lower reaches of the Chicago River clear of ice, during the winter, so service vessels, like the Christopher Wheatley can transit it, during emergencies. While she is capable of breaking ice usually the city-owned tugboat James J. Versluis performs this duty.



Go to the wheelhouse and sit in the driver's seat on the right hand side.
In the center console there are two key switch.
"System On" and "Start Engine"

The instrument panel is minimalist for a better experience.


There are three water cannons on the bow, that can rotate and pitched up and down, we use the arrow keys or WSAD, depending on which seat you’re on.

There is also water cannon on the stern on a platform that can be raised and lowered; this is controlled by a panel by the water cannon.

Otherwise, there are also water pumps on both sides, which you can use water hoses.

The rear room is packed with basic equipment.


To refuel the vessel, you can use fluid hoose anchors on port side. Which is marked with diesel.

There is also an emergency hose anchor downstairs right in front of you when you go down the stairs below deck. There are also spare diesel tanks if you should run out of fuel.

Otherwise, only a medium generator charges the entire system.
