Crews from across Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue are hosting a series of Christmas events, raising money for worthy causes.
Lincolnshire’s firefighters have a proud tradition in carrying out local community-based events that help get everyone into the Christmas spirit and raise money for several charities.
Many fire stations will be taking Santa on the road with a sleigh tour around the local area, while others will be opening their doors to locals with a warm festive welcome.
Over the festive period last year, crews helped to raise a grand total of £32,882, with most of this being directed to the Fire Fighter’s Charity, who support current and former firefighters’ families when they most need it.
Cllr Alex McGonigle, executive councillor for fire and rescue, said: “Our crews did such an amazing job last year, helping to spread Christmas joy in support of causes that mean so much to our firefighters.
“Similarly, our communities are fantastic in getting involved and supporting these events, ultimately making it all possible.
“There’s lots of Christmas fun to be had this year, and I’m already looking forward to seeing all the great pictures and videos across our stations socials on the run up to Christmas.”
