WINSFORD firefighters are rolling up their sleeves and arming themselves with sponges and buckets of water for the annual Fire Fighters Charity car wash.
The crew will be raising money for the charity, which gives respite, recuperation and rehabilitation for sick and injured firefighters and their families, by washing cars in exchange for a donation.
Winsford’s car wash is taking place at the fire station in Sadler Road, on Saturday, March 10 from 10am to 2pm.
Firefighter Stuart Plaskett, who is the service’s Fire Fighter Charity coordinator, said: “We would really appreciate motorists bringing their cars along to have them washed in return for a donation.
“All funds raised go to The Fire Fighters Charity, the UK’s leading provider of life-enhancing services for serving and retired fire service personnel and their families.”
The charity has supported firefighters for more than 60 years. It relies on fundraising for the £8 million needed annually to secure services at centres across the country.
