Fire fighters left a charity car wash to fight a blaze in a garage.
Just after 5pm on Saturday (July 28) crews from Waltham Abbey and Loughton stations were called to Farm Hill Road, Waltham Abbey.
There they found a garage joining on to a house fully alight.
They worked quickly to extinguish the fire before it could spread to the house.
The swift action came at the end of Essex Fire Service's car wash initiative, in which members of the public could have their motor spruced by a man in uniform.
