from Aldridge Fire Station will be donning their aprons and making cakes today (April 10th) in order to raise funds for Help for Heroes, reports the Walsall Advertiser.<\/p>\n<p>Colin Ward, a watch commander at the station, said the charity is one that it has been keen to support for some time.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;A lot of our firefighters are from previous careers in the army so for them, it's a charity that is close to their own heart,&quot; he stated.<\/p>\n<p>The firefighters are expected to put around 150 cakes up for sale and hope that members of the public will turn up to buy them.<\/p>\n<p>They hold the sale at the station in Northgate every year and it usually raises about &pound;300 for the charity.<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-801711526-ADNFCR\"
