Ash Green Primary School on Clough Lane in Mixenden, Halifax was damaged in a fire earlier recently. Illingworth White Watch was first on the scene to tackle the blaze followed by nine further crews and six specialist teams from around West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service.
Laura Boocock, Calderdale District Commander at West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said, “We want to support the school and the whole community and have been working closely with other agencies and organizations around the area since the fire on Tuesday evening."
Donations at the car wash
Laura Boocock adds, "We are hoping for a great turnout at our car wash on Sunday and thank all those who are helping to make the event happen.”
Online donations to the fund have already surpassed £7,000.
