Firefighters charity car wash

Firefighters will once again be swapping fire kit for sponges during September for a series of charity car washes across Cornwall.

Held in aid of The Fire Fighters Charity, the fundraising efforts are a regular date in the Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service diary and always prove popular with local drivers.

Des Tidbury, Chief Fire Officer for Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service, said: "Monies raised through national fundraising initiatives provide a real boost to The Fire Fighters Charity. As well as being a fun and popular event for the charity, the National Car Wash also gives our fire fighters the opportunity to share important safety messages with members of their local community.

"We are delighted that so many of our fire stations are getting involved and would urge local people to come along and support the day. Your valued donations will go towards helping thousands of men, women and children from the fire and rescue community during their times of need."

Truro's local car wash event is:

Saturday 29th September: Truro Community Fire Station, Old County Hall - 10am to 2pm
