Firefighters

from Avonmouth, Bedminster, Patchway and Temple fire stations have been

pounding the pavements in the run up to Christmas to raise money for the

Children’s Hospice South West, based in North Somerset.

Every Friday and Saturday throughout December crews from the stations were

shaking buckets in Bristol’s Cabot Circus shopping centre in aid of the

charity. They also used the opportunity to talk to shoppers about fire safety

and make appointments to visit homes to provide information on reducing the

risk of fire.
