Firefighters will be taking care of one weekend chore for
members of the public this Saturday, during a series of charity car
washes taking place across the area.
On Saturday 13 September staff from Avon Fire & Rescue
Service (AF&RS) will be grabbing their buckets and sponges
during a fundraiser for The Fire Fighters Charity, formally the
Fire Services National Benevolent Fund.
Crews from six fire stations across the service area will be
taking part in the annual event to raise much needed funds for the
charity. And as windows are being washed and bonnets buffed,
drivers and their families will also have the chance to meet their
local firefighters and chat about general fire safety advice.
The national event is organised to raise money for The Fire
Fighters Charity which provides support services and treatment to
more than 13,500 serving and retired members of staff from UK fire
and rescue services. It is run at a cost of £9 million a year and
is entirely reliant on donations from the general public and fire
community.

the following locations:
Avonmouth Fire Station, St Andrew's Road, Avonmouth, 10am to
