Braving the cold for a cause, Edmonton firefighters are once again taking to the rooftop at Fire Hall 3 for their annual Rooftop Campout. The multi-day fundraiser supports Muscular Dystrophy Canada, with firefighters enduring the elements to raise awareness and donations for those living with neuromuscular disorders. The event which became a community staple, highlights the dedication of Edmonton’s first responders both on and off duty.

Mike Berg, an Edmonton Firefighter and one of the many members camping on the roof spoke with CFWE on this year’s benchmarks for fundraising with items earned for camping supplies, to raise 60,000 dollars.

Berg highlights how community members can make a difference with donations being made at any Edmonton Fire Hall or online at www.edmontonrooftopcampout.ca.

Along with raising 60,000, Berg adds that the best thing is creating connections with the families within the Muscular Dystrophy community that benefit from the donations made from Rooftop Campout.
