Firefighters in car wash fundraiser


Firefighters will be raising money for charity on March 20th by washing cars at stations in Bedford, Kempston, Stopsley (near Luton), Potton and Sandy.

Between about 10 am - 2 pm, you will be able to have your vehicle polished up to a shine by fire crews who are collecting for the national Fire Fighters’ Charity which helps those injured during their service.

Group Commander Andy Peckham said : “This charity relies on firefighters raising money to help colleagues injured in the line of duty. At the car wash we ask only for donations - and it’s a good excuse for people to visit a Fire Station with the family on board.

“And while we have the public in our grasp we like to give them a pep talk about home fire and road safety.

“Bedfordshire and Luton Fire and Rescue Service conducts FREE home fire safety checks for those who want to ensure they are not putting themselves at unnecessary risk. Road Safety is a key priority for BLFRS so we like to remind people about driving with care too.”

For a FREE home fire safety check call 0800 043 5042 or go to www.bedsfire.com

* Harrold will be having their car wash a week later on March 28th 10 - 12 noon
