Chinese Fire Truck with Multiple Rocket Launchers Will Destroy Blazes

Fire fighters in China's capital city of Beijing are literally going to war against fires. Their weapon of choice? A fire truck with multiple rocket launchers which fire canisters full of flame retardant material right into the heat of the fire from a distance of nearly a thousand feet away. Beijing has introduced the state-of-the-art fire-extinguishing system based on the concept of multiple rocket launcher vehicles used by militaries around the world. Just in case you're wondering about the main target of these systems Although fires in skyscrapers are fairly uncommon, they do occur more often than we like to think, and most fire trucks are useless in battling blazes located above 30 floors high. The Chinese rocket launcher fire truck will respond to skyscraper blazes in Beijing's Central Business District. The new system, built by China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, is ready for duty in Beijing's Hujialou fire-fighting squadron.
