Narberth’s co-responder received a boost this week thanks to Elfyn Evans who recently celebrated his 80th birthday and asked for donations to the service in lieu of presents.

Mr. Evans chose the co-responder after firefighters were first on the scene when his wife Grace was taken ill two years ago.

Mr. Evans, of Gelli, is seen presenting the donation to Narberth watch manager Paul Morris, while also pictured are Mr. Evans’s wife Grace, their daughter Yvonne Stanley and son Neil Evans and fire station crew manager Bryn Etchells.
