Firefighters from West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service will be getting into a bit of lather this Saturday -March 20, when they take part in a national charity car wash.
 
Come rain or shine, firefighters will be filling their buckets and foaming their sponges to offer residents a car washing service at their local fire station in return for a charity donation.
 
All proceeds will go to the national Firefighters Charity, which provides valuable treatment and support services to more than 17,000 firefighters who are injured each year. The National Car Wash Day is the Charity's largest fundraising event of the year and involves fire stations throughout the UK.
 
The Wash Day aims to be both fun and educational and gives residents the chance to chat informally with firefighters about fire safety issues, while their cars are given a tender loving clean!
 
Despite their best efforts, the firefighters see first hand how fire can destroy lives and devastate communities. By learning more about safety around the home, lives can be saved. It is also a fantastic way to raise essential funds for The Fire Fighters Charity in order to continue to support those in need.
 
So if your car looks like it could do with an urgent brush and polish then get down to your local fire station on Saturday 20th March between 10am and 4pm and watch the firefighters give it the full emergency treatment!
