Double-headed fire engine

A two-headed fire engine recently hit the road in Nanjing, East China's Jiangsu province, reported Chinanews.com on Saturday.

Equipped with a driving block on both ends, the unique design of the fire truck allows it to go in reverse at a moments notice without the need to turn around, giving it an advantage in cramped lanes. Nanjing is a city with a large number of narrow lanes where fire engines have difficulty reaching. The new vehicle, the one and only in the city, was imported from Austria for 9 million yuan ($1.44 million).
