A charity car wash held by firefighters in Aberbargoed raised more than £700 in just one day.
On-call firefighters from South Wales Fire and Rescue Service hosted the event on August 26 and raised £768 for the Fire Fighters’ Charity, DYT Dance and Mind.
The Fire Fighters’ Charity offers lifelong support for members of the UK fire services community.
Mind is a mental health charity in England and Wales, while DYT dance school operates in Caerphilly County Borough and aims to give every child “the chance to dance”.
A spokesperson for South Wales Fire and Rescue Service said: “We would like to extend our thanks to the community for showing their support during the event and helping us raise such a fantastic amount for the station’s chosen charities.
“We are currently running a recruitment campaign for on-call firefighters across south Wales and would welcome applications from those who want to help their community and boost their income, providing they meet eligibility requirements.”
