History
Rescue ONE Connector Boats is a leading provider of multi-use, interoperable boats for the fire, rescue, and law enforcement community. Rescue ONE boats have a patented design that allows them to connect to any other Rescue ONE Connector Boat in the world. This unique capability enables endless possibilities and practical applications. Whether it is connecting boats end to end to form a large platform on which to perform dragging operations or in a “T” configuration to perform heavy rescue or recovery missions, Rescue ONE Connector Boats provide the most versatile water missions platform on the market.
Founded in 1992 in Southside, AL, Rescue ONE’s primary goal for developing Connector Boats was safety. We realized fire/rescue and law enforcement personnel performing water based missions needed to focus on performing that mission rather than having to worry about the boat they were working from keeping them safe and effective. Based on this sole purpose, Rescue ONE developed a single boat that was ultra stable and could stand up to extreme stress and load. The founder, Tony Lumpkin, knew that if multiple boats of this specification could be connected together, the capacity and stability of the working platform would increase exponentially. Mr. Lumpkin set out to accomplish that mission.
As public safety personnel needs grew, so did Rescue ONE. We now offer a retractable dive platform for effective and safe dive missions and portable fire pump that turns the Rescue ONE Connector Boat into a fire boat
Today, A Rescue ONE Connector Boat is the most versatile and affordable fire/rescue and law enforcement boat on the market.
