The record
Portugal's volunteer fire brigades (bombeiros voluntários) run Land Rover Defenders for forest-fire work and as command cars. The Wikimedia Commons photograph shows the Leiria brigade's Comando: a white Defender 90 station wagon, registration 11-41-JH, with a blue light bar on the roof, a black A-bar carrying two blue lamps ahead of the grille, BOMBEIROS in red on the rear quarters, the brigade's crest and COMANDO on the front doors and alloy wheels — the officer's vehicle from which incidents such as the summer forest fires of the Leiria pine forests are directed.
The registry's model is a white Defender 90 station wagon with the light bar, A-bar lamps, lettering and crest, alloys and Portuguese plates; in the game it carries water-pool pickups and the blue-light boost.
