Fire Vehicles: Fire Bike

Time is critical to firefighting operations as fires may spread very fast, especially for high-rise residential fires in Singapore. With traffic congestion, fire engines may be delayed to reach the fire incident.

In 1998, the fire bike concept was launched to tackle the problem of congestion. The fire bike team consists of two firefighters equipped with impulse guns, which can fire powerful bursts of water mist at up to 200 metres per second.
