14 FIREFIGHTERS from the Westbury Fire Station will be taking part in the Dorset Mud Run on Saturday 18th May to raise money for the Fire Fighters Charity.
The Dorset Mud Run will see the fire fighters take on 15+ obstacles that will see runners covered in mud as they complete the 6km route.
The Westbury fire fighters are raising money for the Fire Fighters Charity which offers support for the UK fire service community, empowering individuals to live healthier and happier lives.
A spokesperson from the Westbury Fire Station said, “We have attended many incidents throughout the years, so we’ve chosen the Fire Fighters Charity as our charity of choice. The charity helps fire fighters who have retired through injury, as well as families of deceased firefighters both killed or injured on the frontline. The Fire Fighters Charity doesn’t stop there; it does amazing things for service personnel and their families throughout the country.
“We are all hopefully doing our own training programmes, but our job keeps us fit and we do have a gym at the station.”
Taking part is watch manager Peter Eastland, crew manager Oliver Rush, crew manager Nathan Collins, as well as firefighters Justin Barrett, Chris Charlton and his wife Mel, Loren Thanejah, Alistair Young, Ross Frampton and his daughter Poppy and ex firefighters Terry Noble and Daisy McFerrin.
