Medicine Hat firefighters hold annual rooftop campout fundraiser for muscular dystrophy

The Medicine Hat Firefighters Charitable Foundation is hosting its 17th annual Rooftop Campout fundraiser in support of muscular dystrophy from April 10 to 12 at Fire Station No. 2 on Trans-Canada Way S.E.

Firefighters Andrew Archer and Cale Schafer will camp out on the station rooftop throughout the three-day event, collecting donations from the public below.

Motorists are invited to enter the station’s front parking lot to fill the donation boot, and residents are encouraged to stop by over the weekend to show their support.

The rooftop campout is part of a long-standing tradition among firefighters across the country, who partner with muscular dystrophy organizations to support families and individuals living with the disorders.
