Fireman, Xmas Trees & Charity!

The Holidays are coming to a close...my thighs thank you. Taking down all the decorations can be a pain and for me a procrastination! NOT ANYMORE! Members of the B.C. Professional Firefighters Association in Kelowna will be chipping Christmas trees Jan. 7 and 8 to raise money for the B.C. Burn Fund. 

Kelowna firefighters will chip ornament- and tinsel-free trees for donations to the B.C. Burn Fund, which supports programs for children and adults who have survived serious burns.The chipping will be done at the Kelowna Fire Department stations at 2255 Enterprise Way and 619 Dehart Rd. from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 7 and Sunday, Jan. 8

Local sponsors 4 Less Disposal, Winn Rental and Cody Tree Trimming have donated equipment and services so that 100 per cent of donations go to the B.C. Burn Fund.

The Burn Fund provides life saving, life supporting and life enriching services to people in British Columbia. More than 3,700 professional firefighters in the province donate their time and skills to support burn survivors and increase public awareness about fire and burn safety issues.
