The Sci-fi Reality. Part-Two.

Too Much?

Some would say that we have gone to far and done too much in such a short time span?

With the positives also has to come the negatives of advancement, science has provided humans with flight, medicines and machines. New materials and sources of energy to drive our new found world.

But we have also developed new weapons, poisons gasses and biological agents.

Humanity has the capability for the first time to wipe himself off the face of his own world. We wonder what happened to the dinosaurs?  From Tanks to Intercontinental ballistic missiles, from Mustard gas to Cyclone-b, to Genetic engineering and robotic drones. Lasers in space, to a new breed of high speed aircraft, believed to be known as Aurora.

The future will see deep space travel, cloned humans and new types of chemical and biological warfare, if not a nuclear war.  

We just need to sit back, think and question a bit more?

Fire Engines. Part-Two.

Tenders and Engines today.

Our world today is very advanced since the days of 1900. The fire services have developed to many other areas than just dealing with fire. Chemical, biological and Nuclear units now exist, along with specialist cutting equipment used in accidents and similar crash incidents.

The fire service has not to just deal with the cat up the tree, but also work on water, deal with aviation fuel, foam spray and underground concealment. ''Fire man Sam', will even fly into douse the flames of the forest fire with water and chemicals. Have to be the nurse and Doctor in some situations and also be on hand in riot situations too and this is world wide.

Specialist tenders such as the Panther have been built for London's Heathrow airport. Basically they have a wide roles of use all in one vehicle and similar units operate in other countries.
