A video released by the Dubai Civil Defence demonstrates firefighting like never seen before.
The firefighter uses a jet pack to rise above a bridge, by using water pressure from the attached jet ski, before using a fire hose to douse a car which is made to look like it is alight.
This innovative firefighting system called Dolphin has been launched in an effort to reduce response times as firefighters can get to the scene without battling heavy traffic on the roads.
The waterways also provide an unlimited source of water for firefighting and grant easy access to any fires on boats and shoreline buildings.
