Ajaccio Forestiers-Sapeurs Defender
All-purpose Defender 110 Tdi (véhicule tout usage) of the Forestiers-Sapeurs de Corse-du-Sud at Ajaccio — the departmental forest workers' fire corps — a yellow double-cab pickup with a canvas tilt and a Hella KL7000 rotating beacon, used for maquis fire patrol and first attack on Corsica's forest tracks.
History
The forestiers-sapeurs are the forest-worker fire corps run by Corsica's departmental councils, clearing firebreaks in winter and patrolling the maquis in the fire season. bos-fahrzeuge.info records this Land Rover of the Conseil Général de la Corse-du-Sud service based at Ajaccio as a Mehrzweckfahrzeug / véhicule tout usage on a Defender 110 Tdi chassis with an in-house (Behördenausbau) fit: crew of 1+4, 2,495 cc engine of 90 kW, 3,000 kg gross weight and a Hella KL7000 rotating beacon. The single photograph, from 2010, shows a yellow double-cab pickup with a white roof and a grey canvas tilt over the bed; its exact station is not recorded.
The registry's model uses the Defender 130 high-capacity double-cab body (the photograph's long bed and four doors fit the 130 better than the short 110 crew cab, though the source lists it as a 110 Tdi), in yellow with the white roof, canvas-covered bed, blue beacon, black arches and bumper and silver wheels; in the game it carries the blue-light boost. The only reference is a small thumbnail, so decals and the registration are left off.
