A PRAM race helped raise a scorching £1,700 for the Firefighters' Benevolent Fund.

The Duke of Wellington Hotel, Towngate, Great Harwood, is the regular for off-duty firefighters from the nearby Great Harwood Station.

And landlord Martin Owen, has chosen the Fund as the pub's charity, raising money for it every year.

In July, regulars held the pram race around Great Harwood and a fun-day was held on Sunday, when Martin handed over the cheque to grateful officers.
