“The new stations will help us prepare for future challenges with the rapid developments in the fast expanding city.” The new stations, he added, is one of the new smart services provided by Dubai Civil Defence for 2018 like self-driving firefighting boat, smart firefighting vehicles to respond to fire incidents and smart payment method.
