Firefighters are being offered the chance to become trained and equipped to help prevent drug deaths.
They will be able to volunteer to carry naloxone – a nasal spray which can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose – as part of a £90,000 project funded by the Scottish Government.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) will join the Scottish Ambulance Service and Police Scotland in recognising the role the medication can play in saving lives.
