FIREFIGHTERS in Okehampton and North Tawton are preparing to roll up their sleeves to take part in the National Car Wash this month, raising vital funds for The Fire Fighters' Charity. Firmly established on the fire and rescue service calendar, the National Car Wash is the charity's largest national fundraising event of the year.  Motorists are invited to take their car along and have it washed in return for a donation to The Fire Fighters' Charity, the UK's leading provider of services that enhance quality of life for serving and retired fire service personnel and their families. Chief fire officer for Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service, Lee Howell said:  'Monies raised through national fundraising initiatives provide a real boost to The Fire Fighters' Charity. 'As well as being a fun and popular event for the charity, the National Car Wash also gives our firefighters the opportunity to share important safety messages with members of their local community. 'Your valued donations will go towards helping thousands of men, women and children from the fire and rescue community during their times of need.' Okehampton and North Tawton fire crews will be taking part in the car wash on September 27 at their respective stations on North Road in Okehampton and Barton Street in North Tawton. Motorists can get their car washed from 10am to 4pm.
