Here in Hong Kong, the Fire Department uses BMWs for both fires and EMT. The BMW "fire bike" is pretty wild, with two large round cylinder tanks where the saddlebags would be. One of my MBA students is in the FD, so I asked him if I was correct when I thought I saw a "fire bike". He said that the one real danger is that when you use one tank, you have to empty the other tank as well, otherwise the imbalance in weight would cause accidents (it seems that they learned that the hard way).
