A former Scots firefighter will lead a team of 13 to the Ukrainian border to donate vital supplies to the country's fire service.
Gary Bennett, who is the chairman of the Scottish Emergency Rescue Association (SERA) - a charity set up to provide emergency equipment to countries in need of aid - makes his journey today.
The 52-year-old from Edinburgh is donating four fire engines and 18 tonnes of emergency equipment to the State Emergency Service of Ukraine.
