Merseyside firefighters trial 'fire bikes'
Firefighters on Merseyside are piloting a new way of tackling fires - a motorbike fitted with water tanks and a high-pressure jet.
It is being sent to put out small fires.
The idea is to keep full-sized fire engines and crews free to respond to bigger emergencies.
John McCormack from Merseyside Fire and Rescue explains how it works to the BBC's Nick Ravenscroft
