The Mumbai Fire Brigade recently acquired 12 hi-end customised bikes to cut short the response time even during peak hours of traffic. The bikes, especially designed to conduct firefighting operations, are assembled with almost all the equipment needed to control or douse a fire, including jet spray, siren and walkie-talkie and fog light. 

Speaking to mid-day, Hemant Parab, chief fire officer, says, "Our goal is to cut short the response time. We will be including a total of 24 bikes in the Mumbai Fire Brigade. As of now we have got 12 bikes loaded with almost all the equipment used in a fire fighting operation and by the end of this month 12 more bikes will be included."
