The New Zealand Air Force has delivered a fire engine to the Micronesian island of Weno after serious fires there.
A Hercules plane made the unusual delivery last week, after fires at the tiny island's state legislative chambers and a tuna factory.
Christchurch firefighter Keith Norton helped to source the 7.7-tonne truck - the first fire engine the island has had for two years.
Mr Norton says the truck was donated by the New Zealand Fire Service and Christchurch firefighters.
