A BEAUTIFUL phoenix sculpture made by a Pershore Blacksmith has been donated to the fire service.

The sculpture made by Steven Cooper will be auctioned to raise money for the Fire Fighters Charity.

It was inspired by Group commander Stu Crebbin, who works in the Hereford and Worcester fire inspection team took on the 10 Peaks Challenge in the Brecon Beacons in August in aid of the same charity. Mr Cooper wants to help raise even more money.
