    The 'FireFighter' bikes!!

    Firefighters on Merseyside are piloting a new way of tackling fires - a motorbike fitted with water tanks and a high-pressure jet.

    It is being sent to put out small fires.

    The idea is to keep full-sized fire engines and crews free to respond to bigger emergencies.

    John McCormack from Merseyside Fire and Rescue explains how it works to the BBC's Nick Ravenscroft

    The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

        Neat! would be pretty nifty to send a swarm of such bikes in cities etc!
        But limited reach I guess...

            Yes, bigger vehicles should be kept for bigger fires in the city... One more merit of bike is its reach, if the area is crowded or has small streets, and also the cost efficiency!
