Now a regular event in the years calendar the National Car Wash is happening tomorrow in Loughborough. The National Car Wash is one of the Fire Service Benevolent Fund largest single fundraising event and involves firemen from all over the country. Last year nationally almost 200k was raised to assist injured firefighters who require treatment.

So if you wish to support your fireservice, help those who are injured and get a clean and perfectly polished car then turn up at the B&Q car park this Saturday in Loughborough between 10am and 4pm.

Not only will your local firefighters be washing cars to raise funds, they will also be available to give fire prevention advice or information on what to do if you have a fire.
