Firefighters in Dubai are set to become even more like superheros with the introduction of jetpacks.
Dubai Civil Defence recently launched the Dolphin, a jetski equipped with a jetpack and fire hose which will allow firefighters easy access to fires on boats, bridges and shoreline buildings.
The jetpack forces water at high pressure through the firefighters' boots, propelling them up into the air and allowing them to reach tall bridges.
The director general of Dubai's Civil Defence, Major General Rashid Thani Al Matrooshi, said the Dolphin will shorten response times during peak traffic hours, when the city state's traffic can prevent emergency vehicles moving quickly through the city. He said: 'Dolphin is one of the innovative ideas and smart apps which include the floating firefighting stations that launched by Dubai Civil Defence.'
