Fort McMurray Firefighters camping out on rooftop in support of local charities

Firefighters in Fort McMurray are braving the elements for charity.

Until May 3rd, the Fort McMurray Firefighters Charities Association is camped out, on top of the roof of Eagle Ridge at 101-375 Loutit Road.

The three-day fundraiser supports several local organizations, including the Fort McMurray SPCA, the Wood Buffalo Food Bank, Waypoints, the Centre of Hope, and the Boys and Girls Club.

On Friday night, the public is invited to take part in a 50/50 fundraiser at East Village Pub and Eatery.

The campout wraps up Saturday morning with a family pancake breakfast at EVP beginning at 9:00 a.m., as firefighters make their way back down from the roof.
