MEMBERS of Cumbria's Fire and Rescue Service are taking on a unique fire bucket challenge to raise vital funds. 

Firefighters will be passing a water bucket from Egremont Fire Station to Whitehaven Harbour, making up a trip of 8 miles. 

The organisers have invited serving and non-serving members as well as the public to participate.

The event is set to start at 9.30am on October 7 from Egremont Fire Station. 

All are encouraged to contribute towards the fundraiser which will go to the The Firefighters Charity. 

The JustGiving page has so far raised over £500.
