Fire Fighters Charity car wash

The eleventh year of the Fire Fighters Charity car wash in Audlem

Audlem firefighters are hoping to swap buckets of water for buckets of cash.

They're getting ready to roll up their sleeves to raise money for the Fire Fighters Charity 11th annual car wash.

Local residents can get their cars washed, as well as receiving vital road safety advice, at Audlem Fire Station on Shropshire Street on Saturday 14th March from 10.00am to 1.00pm.

Road Safety Manager Peter Shields, who coordinates the Service's car washes, 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".

Chair of the Fire Fighters Charity and Deputy Chief Fire Officer Mark Cashin said: "The charity car wash is a great way to not only increase awareness of road safety but also to raise money for The Fire Fighters Charity which has provided assistance to serving and retired firefighters for more than 60 years.

"Unfortunately our firefighters see first hand the tragic consequences of road traffic collisions and I really hope that drivers will go along and support this event as they will not only be helping

"The Fire Fighters Charity but they will also take away vital road safety advice which could save their lives."
