Could we soon see new fire engines on the Isle of Man?

Emergency One Group - a leading UK manufacturer of fire, rescue and emergency vehicle appliances - has released photos of new vehicles which they say will be used by the Isle of Man Fire and Rescue Service.

The images of the Volvo vehicles show brand new paintwork as well as some of the exterior and interior equipment designs.

No further details have been given as to when they could be operating on Manx shores.
