Firefighters at Shirebrook Fire Station, on Portland Road, hosted a charity car wash.

It is part of a national car wash event promoted by The Fire Fighters Charity, which provides support to the firefighting community.

The charity said: “Every year, hundreds of firefighters across the UK wash as many cars as possible to raise money for our charity.”

A spokesman for Shirebrook Fire Station said: “Thank you to everyone who attended our charity car wash.

“We managed to raise a whopping £750 for The Fire Fighters Charity.”
