ELLESMERE Port firefighters raised money for a good cause at a charity car wash.

The crew raised £318.07 by washing cars for The Fire Fighters Charity and drivers were also offered the chance to have their vehicle tyres scanned. A total of 39 people took up the scanning offer, which was available in partnership with Highways England.

Colin Heyes, road safety manager for Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service, said: “The object of every road safety event is to change people’s attitude, knowledge and behaviour. We certainly achieved this at the Ellesmere Port car wash event, while also raising much-needed funds for The Fire Fighters Charity.”

The charity gives respite, recuperation and rehabilitation for sick and injured firefighters and their families and all the money raised at the car wash will be going to this great cause.
