ON behalf of Coleford Fire Station I would like to thank everyone who supported our car wash on Saturday, September 29 in aid of the families of fallen firefighters in New York. A total of £3,000 was raised on the day.

Support for the day was just fantastic. Our control staff from Cheltenham, though on a day off, turned up to give their support for the charity and meals were sent to the station to keep the teams of washers going. It was brilliant.

So again, I thank you all. – Norman Barrow, station officer, Coleford Fire and Rescue.
