Bob Frendt from Knaresborough buys an emergency vehicle for a city left without fire engines.
A man has raised £20,000 to buy a fire engine for a city in Ukraine after its vehicles were taken for the war effort.
But after he heard residents were left with no fire engines because of the war, the 73-year-old was inspired to raise funds to buy a new appliance. Mr Frendt, a former lorry driver, has already made deliveries to the city in the north-west of the country, including a 40-tonne trailer of medical aid, a double-decker coach to be used as a triage unit and learning equipment for a school.
"The central government took the fire engines from all these towns at the beginning of the war to protect Kyiv and other big towns where all the heritage was," Mr Frendt told BBC Radio York.
