The Isle of Man's emergency services are gearing-up for their busiest fortnight of the year.

Annual leave is cancelled across the board, with all front-line services running at full capacity.

The Department of Home Affairs has outlined the huge extra workload it faces during the period.

From the one-way system on the mountain to safety inspections on campsites, the police, fire and rescue service and communications division take-on a multitude of extra tasks.
