(ECNS) - Two new types of fire-fighting motorcycles will be put to use around Tian'anmen Square in Beijing, the Beijing Youth Daily reported on Monday.
The new motorcycles called "Chunfeng 650s"are equipped with hydraulic tools to quickly disassemble a car or put out a fire in a vehicle or on a person.
The vehicles are said to be capable of rushing to the scene of an incident at short notice to extinguish a fire or perform other first-response emergency tasks.
The first fleet of motorcycles will serve in Tian'anmen, the Forbidden City and Fuyou Street.
They carry 40 liters of water in two cans, one on each side of the bike, and have two ways of releasing water to fight fires.
