DRIVERS turned out in force to support the charity car wash at Birchwood Fire Station.
The fundraiser for the Fire Fighters Charity on Saturday, March 21, raised £335 when firefighters and cadets armed themselves with buckets and sponges.
Mark Cashin, chairman of the Fire Fighters Charity and deputy chief fire officer, said, "It is testament to the support we have from the public when events such as this show how generous people can be.
"It costs more than £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.”
