Jersey's fire service has received a new £200,000 incident command unit fitted with a drone, bosses say.
The States of Jersey Fire Service said the five-tonne Mercedes Sprinter van would replace its currently command vehicle, which would be sold on once staff had been trained up.
The vehicle had been "designed to meet the [service's] needs", with swivel front seats so the crew can communicate, an external smart screen, and a 2.5m (8ft) awning creating an exterior workspace, a spokesperson said.
Station commander Adam Rogers said the high-tech vehicle was "flexible enough to be deployed throughout the island" and had been fitted with drone "for greater situational awareness".
