FIREFIGHTERS in Wellington have raised £650 in a charity car wash at Wellington Sports Centre’s car park.

They cleaned about 70 vehicles as they raised cash for The Fire Fighters Charity, which provides services that enhance the quality of life for serving and retired fire service personnel and their

families on Saturday morning.

Glenn Askew, Chief Fire Officer for Devon & Somerset Fire & 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, the National Car Wash also gives our firefighters the opportunity to share important safety messages with members of their local community.”
