Richmondshire firefighters have issued an appeal for unwanted cars to help with training.
Crews use the vehicles to practise rescuing motorists after road traffic accidents.
Firefighter Emma Ward said: “We are always very grateful for second-hand cars.
“As well as our full-time crews, we have several retained crews operating in Richmondshire who need to do the training so we get through quite a few.
“It’s tricky when we get a dry spell and don’t have that many.”
Firefighters from Richmond Fire Station took part in an exercise this week at Colburn Fire Station.
They used a Vauxhall Astra donated by Redmire gardener Jonty Willis.
After flipping the vehicle onto its roof, they practised various techniques used to extract a motorist safely.
