Firefighters will be using their hoses for a different reason in Truro and across Cornwall this Saturday when they hold a fundraising car wash for the firefighters' charity.

Now firmly established on the charity's annual event calendar, the national car wash is the charity's largest national fundraising event of the year crews from Falmouth are among hundreds across the country taking part in the event.

They will be washing cars at Sainsbury’s in Truro from 10am where customers can get their car washed in exchange for a donation for the charity that helps firefighters who get injured whilst on duty.

Also taking part are crews in Falmouth, Helston, Camborne and Redruth amongst others.
