For close to two decades now, the West Vancouver firefighters have been scrubbing and hosing down cars to help raise funds for B.C. Children's Hospital. Last weekend, The 19th Annual Car Wash for Kids added another $10,000 to the pot as 462 vehicles came by for a shine. Because when you're a local hero, saving lives is much more than just part of the job.

With over 250,000 unique visits each month, our site would
quickly exceed the amount of memory needed. If you would like to receive a copy
of a photograph, then please send an email and enclose the

and the names of the people in the photograph. Also, for
security reasons, I prefer not to email copies of pictures

Just don't ask organizer Mark Barton (left) how many years he and fellow firefighter Jay Brownlee have been doing this. I'm impressed. |

Sometimes captains just have to sit back and supervise like Bob Allan and Randy Heath - wink wink. |
