RURAL airports across the Highland and Islands have joined forces with the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) to keep communities safe.
This will see fire fighters at Highland and Island Airport Limited (HIAL) airports across Barra, Islay and Tiree assisting SFRS crews in the event of an emergency.
In turn, SFRS crews will be drafted in to support airport fire crews in the event of unforeseen circumstanc es or any major incidents at the HIAL airports.
