The Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations allow blue flashing lights to be fitted to National Park Ranger vehicles that are used from time to time for the purposes of fighting fires.

In the Peak District National Park, the Fire Operation Group (FOG) was formed in 1996. The FOG is made up of Fire Service Officers from the six constituent fire services serving the Peak District and those actively involved in fire-fighting such as gamekeepers, National Trust Wardens, National Park Rangers and the Pennine Helicopters Ltd. The Fire Service is the responsible agency for moorland fire fighting, and during any such incident the senior fire officer present is wholly in charge, albeit assisted by other agencies.
RE51 FRZ is a Land Rover Defender 90 TD5 used by the National Park Ranger Service. It carries a single rotating blue beacon on its roof. The vehicle carries essential fire fighting equipment such as fire beaters and collapsible water storage tanks. It also carries the ATV shown below.
This unregistered Agro Centaur is used by the National Park Ranger Service to carry fire fighting equipment to remote areas. It is almost identical to the ATV used by Derbyshire Fire and rescue service. Equipment that the ATV can carry includes portable pumps, hoses and river damming equipment.
