Firefighters raise over £2000 at charity car wash

Wilmslow Mar

Drivers turned out in force to support The Fire Fighters Charity by taking their cars to Wilmslow fire station for a wash on Saturday, 19th March.

Firefighters, Fire Cadets and teams of helpers were on hand with their buckets and sponges to raise money for this worthy cause as well as handing out road safety advice.

Chair of the Fire Fighters Charity and Deputy Chief Fire Officer Mark Cashin said; "It is testament to the support we have from the public when events such as this show how generous people can be as a magnificent £2169 was raised on the day from local residents.

"It costs over £9 million every year to keep The Fire Fighters Charity running, and with no government funding, it is completely reliant on donations from the general public and fire community."
