Two donated fire engines are being sent to support frontline responders in Ukraine.
The decommissioned vehicles from North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service are being sent as part of a wider humanitarian effort coordinated by FIRE AID.
Since the start of the Russian invasion in 2022, FIRE AID and its partners have facilitated the donation of over 100 fire and rescue vehicles.
David Skaith, mayor of York and North Yorkshire, said: "These fire engines have served our communities well and now they can go on to serve the brave people of Ukraine.
"Our emergency services consistently step up, and I'm proud of the volunteers who are giving up their time to drive these vehicles across Europe.
"This donation is a testament to the community spirit that defines our county and proves that when we come together, we can make a difference for those who need it."
The vehicles will be driven to Ukraine via Poland by volunteer drivers from the fire service.
Jo Coles, deputy mayor for policing, fire and crime, said: "The donation of these fire engines means equipment no longer in use here can make a real difference on the frontline of the war in Ukraine."
