The blog run by enthusiast Damiano Gualdoni reports that the Italian firefighting organisation Vigili del Fuoco took delivery of one of a pair of AW139s on Friday.  Registered I-TNCC and I-TNDD are new production aircraft, serials 31369 and 31374 respectively.  It is not clear at this time whether they add to the existing pair of aircraft – Squirrel I-TNAA and Dauphin I-TNBB.

Trento region is based around the city of the same name, and is located in the north of Italy fairly close to the country’s borders with Switzerland and Austria.
