Fire departments from across Canada came together September 12&13 to raise funds and awareness for volunteer firefighters by participating in The Fire Within's third annual Heroes In the Sky event.

Along with a very successful weekend that raised nearly $200,000 for the participating fire departments, this event gave firefighters a chance to connect with the public, share some information on fire prevention, and have a lot of FUN!

Sounds like a lot of fun and a lot of money raised!

What a great program from The Fire Within!! It looks like this company makes fire department calendars and helps organize events like this. Fire departments then have a fun and unique community event where they sell the calendars. Then they use the proceeds to purchase materials such as colouring books that they give out to the kids in their community!
