Until recently I had never heard of fire bikes–motorcycles used in a firefighting capacity–apparently because they’ve never been used in the United States except in small trials in California. According to Wikipedia,
Several countries around the world use fire bikes, often to beat traffic congestion, and the equipment carried ranges from simple extinguishers to jet guns with hose rigs. Firefighters also use fire bikes to offer medical treatment.
