Firefighters camping out on roof to support Muscular Dystrophy Canada

WATCH: Camping out for a cause Winnipeg firefighters have started their annual campout for Muscular Dystrophy Canada at the Osborne Village Fire Hall.

A group of firefighters with the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service (WFPS) are camping out on the roof of #4 Station in Osborne Village this week.

The crew is braving the cold to raise money for people living with muscular dystrophy.

Winnipeg firefighters have been supporting Muscular Dystrophy Canada for 69 years and have raised more than $1.1 million. The money helps fund research, advocacy, equipment, and support programs.

This year’s campout runs from March 5th to the 8th.

You can get involved by visiting the fire station at 150 Osborne St.
