Sheila's Wheels Contribute Money To Trudys Gift Charity

Cinder Bear Going Into Production

Cinder Bear

We have come up with an idea to produce a firefighter female bear, the whole of the UK firefighters have had a "Blaze Bear" for many years, which is male.

We thought it would be a good idea to make a female bear to highlight female firefighters in the Fire service, Debbie took this idea to the top management in the Fire dept and got full backing.

Cinders the Firefighter made her first public appearance at the Winter Snow Ball on the 12th March by bringing a birthday cake on stage for three lucky birthday girls (from left to right Briony, Ellie & Debbie) and everyone sang Happy Birthday to them. Well done Cinders and see you again very soon
