WARRINGTON firefighters have thanked local residents after raising more than £400 at a charity car wash.
Firefighters, fire cadets and teams of helpers got out their bucket and sponges to help raise money for the Fire Fighters Charity, as well as handing out road safety advice at Warrington community fire station.
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 total of over £409 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.”
