Firefighters across Hertfordshire today unveiled their new uniform.
Crews have been given the new kit, which is said to be of an improved technical specification to offer greater protection.
HFRS Assistant Chief Fire Officer Darryl Keen said: "This is an excellent example of fire services working together to ensure our firefighters have the best possible equipment at the lowest possible cost."
