FIREFIGHTERS have raised a massive £2,075.61 for charity by staging a series of car washes at stations across Cambridgeshire.

The event took place on Saturday (2) at six fire stations across Cambridgeshire and each was strongly supported by residents. Crews at some stations washed over 200 dirty cars throughout the day, proving that
raising money is tough work!

All proceeds from the event will go to The Fire Fighters Charity, an organisation which helps 13,000 men, women and children from the fire community every year.

  • Cambridge Fire Station - £900
  • Kimbolton Fire Station - £340.66
  • Manea Fire Station - £180
  • St Ives Fire Station - £340
  • Burwell Fire Station - £314.95

Jon Neish, Cambridgeshire's representative for The Fire Fighters Charity, said: "This is a fantastic total, especially during the current financial climate. "We would like to say a big thank you to all those who attended and gave their money on the day."
