FIREFIGHTERS in West Devon will be taking part in a national car wash this Saturday (September 16).

Have your car washed in Tavistock and Yelverton 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.

Tavistock Firefighters will be holding a car wash at Fairway Furniture from 10am to 2pm; and Yelverton firefighters will be taking part in the car wash at their fire station on Dousland Road from 10am onwards.

Lee Howell, chief fire officer for Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service, 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 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.’
