❤️ A huge thank you to everyone who attended Kingsland & Kington car washes on Saturday, and our colleagues over the border in Knighton and Presteigne. Collectively between all 4 stations we raised £7268.76! This will be split between the Fire Fighters Charity and 2Wish. #HWFRS

Fire related deaths can involve individuals who are at higher risk. Telecare assistive technology can help reduce this risk. These Smoke, heat, and gas detectors can be linked to a system, helping to keep vulnerable people safe at home. More information: ow.ly/Mlks50Yzx8P
