Dubai will introduce a nimble fire-fighting motorcycle in the next few months, which will be at the front line of its response team – particularly during peak traffic periods.
The ‘Firexpress’ BMW R 1200 RT, developed in Denmark, will be equipped with two 25-litre tanks filled with foam and water solution, and a 30m hose.

According to the developers, the motorcycle program has been successfully implemented in China, Singapore and Malaysia, with a similar initiative in place in Saudi Arabia.
