FIREFIGHTER Tony Walmsley is trying to trace a woman called Cath Gardner in time for the festive season.

Tony, who works for the fire service benevolent fund, said he believes Cath recently moved from Carnforth Close, Blackburn, to Abraham Street, and would like to find her so he can give her a Christmas gift.

The benevolent fund aims to look after people over Christmas and New Year who have or have had connections with the fire service.

Cath or anybody who can help can contact Tony at Blackburn fire station on 01254 52111.
