The Fire Bike Pitstop evolved out of a need to reduce motorcycle casualties on the roads in Kent and Medway U.K. The initiative is being championed by Supersport 600 rider James Webb.

The Fire Bike Pitstop involves a Honda CBR1000RR ABS Fireblade superbike being used by a team of four firefighters (who are all Police Standard rider trained) at club meets, shows and events around the county as an educational tool to raise awareness of road safety."

"When the fire fighter faces the challenge of being a great distance away from the fire or narrow environment has to be navigated a Firexpress fire fighting systems mounted on a motor cycle is the right choice for the task.

It can quickly get through congested traffic and reach a fire scene much quicker than conventional vehicles due to its high speed and narrowness.

The system consists of two tanks connected with one another, each with either 20 or 25 litres premixed water and foam and a 6.8 litre tank for compressed air. The lance is connected to a 20 or 30 meter hose.

The fire fighting system is either mounted on a German made BMW R 1200RT motor cycle and comes with emergency lights and sirens. The motorcycle is fully capable of carrying the extra weight and stay stable at any speed."
