MOTORISTS should be getting ready for winter – and firefighters in Warrington are ready to help them.
Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service is warning that with the darker nights and cold weather arriving, drivers should ensure their vehicles are fit to cope with severe weather.
To help them, firefighters will be carrying out free safety checks on cars as part of their continuing campaign for safer roads in Cheshire.
Frances Egerton, one of the brigade’s road safety officers, said: “It’s important to be prepared in case bad weather strikes.
“Engaging with drivers across Cheshire to advise them on safer driving in wintry conditions is an important part of our road safety campaigning and our drive to reduce the number of road traffic collisions.
“I’m hoping that people will take the time to have their cars checked by our crews and take away some helpful information.”
As part of the checks, firefighters will be checking tyres for any bulges or defects, as well as the tyre depth.
They will also be showing drivers how to check their oil and water levels, and explaining the importance of maintaining them.
