Nantwich fire crews raise more than £200 in charity car wash

Nantwich fire crews have given local residents the thumbs up after they cleaned up during a fundraising car wash.

Firefighters at the Beam Street station raised more than £200 in just a few hours washing cars for charity.

Drivers turned out in force to support The Fire Fighters Charity.

Nantwich firefighter Max Kelly said: “Firefighters, fire cadets and teams of helpers with their buckets and sponges raised money for this worthy cause as well as handing out road safety advice at the Station.

“We’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who helped us raise an amazing £204.”

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 £204 was raised on the day.

“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.”
