PC Kevin House has his van cleaned by the fire station crew at Dorchester
FIREFIGHTERS swapped their hoses for sponges and buckets to raise money for their charity.
Staff at Dorchester fire station took part in a car cleaning day to raise funds for the National Firefighters' Charity - formerly the Fire Service Benevolent Fund.
Drivers passing the station were invited to make a donation after having their car cleaned and the 15 fundraisers collected £760 by the end of the day. The charity supports firefighters with injuries through its therapy and rehabilitation centres and also helps families after the death of a member of staff.
