Fire engines are large by necessity. They're also often needed in a hurry, and in a traffic-choked city like New York their size becomes a liability that slows them down.
To address that issue, Russian inventor Semenov Dahir Kurmanbievich came up with this crazy concept. (Warning--turn your speakers down or off. The video's unnecessary music bed is the absolute shittiest song I have ever heard in my life.)
Notice that the firefighters initially appear to be using those Elide Fire Balls, which are pretty neat.
Kurmanbievich also thinks his stork-like concept could be applied to mass transit:
If Semonov's name sounds familiar, that's because we've covered a bunch of his stuff before:
A Five-Axis CNC Mill Concept that Fits Inside Your Mouth
A Supermarket That You Drive Around Inside Of
A Solar-Powered Tank-Destroying System and a James Bond Villain's Superdrone
