Dubai’s cops and paramedics may have been grabbing all the attention with their rather swish motors in recent years, but now it’s the turn of the city’s firefighters to try out the cool stuff.
Not a place to do things by halves, Dubai has equipped some of its firefighters with water-powered jetpacks to help tackle blazes quickly and effectively from pretty much any angle they like.
In a demonstration video released by the Dubai Civil Defense (DCD), we’re shown a firefighter speeding across the water on a Jet Ski as he makes his way to a car burning on a bridge, though in this case the flames are represented by smoke from flares.
