This is the impressive moment powerful fire hoses reached the 18th floor of a towering building during a high-rise drill in China.

Footage shows firefighters holding long spray pipes that emit streams of water and foam along the exterior wall of the structure in Yunnan Province.

A drone hovering near the building at 250 ft (76 m) can also be seen spraying foam onto the structure's glass panels on December 10.

An onlooker said: 'Technology is very impressive nowadays. At that height, the water pressure would usually be very difficult to maintain.'

China is rapidly adopting advanced technology to improve public safety and introduce AI and robotics across various industries, from high-speed disaster response and AI-driven healthcare to robot-led hospitality and immersive digital entertainment.
