Northern Ireland's firefighters will be turning the hose on the public's cars this weekend as they raise money for The Fire Fighters Charity.
For those who would enjoy the novel of having the fire service wash down their vehicle, a crew will be taking part in the UK-wide event in Belfast.
On Saturday, they'll be available at the NIFRS Learning and Development Centre on Boucher Crescent.

The Fire Fighters Charity has been supporting the fire services community for 75 years, starting by supporting bereaved families of firefighters killed during the Blitz before evolving into a modern-day service that provides life enhancing health and wellbeing support to the whole fire community.
The Fire Fighters Charity helps the UK’s serving and retired members of fire and rescue staff as well as their families.
The National Car Wash is the Charity's largest national fundraising event of the year.
Chief Executive of The Fire Fighters Charity, Dr Jill Tolfrey, said: “The National Car Wash provides a vital source of income for the Charity, as well as being a fun and popular event.
“It costs £8.5 million a year to keep The Fire Fighters Charity running – and with no regular government funding, we rely completely on your donations and goodwill.
“You can show your support to our firefighting heroes by visiting your local fire station on Saturday 10 June – and afterwards drive away safely, in a clean car!".
