The Island's Civil Defence is now being headquartered at a new purpose-built facility.
The complex in Tromode will officially open next week and will house all the authority's vehicles, equipment and training facilities in one base.
Officials say the integrated complex will mean assets can be more swiftly and efficiently deployed.
It comes as the Civil Defence celebrates it's 70th year anniversary.
