Anyone understand what purpose this vehicle serves, or why it is sponsored by the freemasons?
It looks hilariously unofficial outside of the fire fire on the bonnet.

What’s the purpose of this post ?
Free Masons raised £2.5 million to buy two of these specialist vehicles.
Quite a nice gesture.
I was always kind of suspicious of Freemasons but my girlfriend’s grandad is a member and I was invited to a family event at a Freemason Hall. Everyone was really nice and nobody even mentioned the Freemasons, there was information and names and dates everywhere and nobody was hiding it. I was even invited upstairs to see the ceremony room, it changed my perception a bit.
It’s a staff car, from the looks of it. Not for emergency response but for transporting personnel on official business. Other emergency services have them too, but the models vary. I am in HM Coastguard and we have Hyundai Ioniq 5s for this purpose.
The funny handshake brigade paid for this one, hence the decal.
They donate cars to the Fire Brigade. The fire brigade uses them like all other cars in their fleet.
Call it a hunch but I think the Freemasons donated that vehicle to the fire brigade.
the freemasons do quite a bit of fundraising for charities, including the air ambulance
If I were to guess, I would say that the London Freemasons, as charitable organisation, donated the vehicle to the emergency services.
But yeah, really tough case to crack mate, keep at it.
It’s a USAR drone unit
