Raising the roof: firefighters have another successful campout

Winnipeg firefighters are back on the ground after spending some cold nights camping out on the roof of a local fire station.

The United Firefighters of Winnipeg says the annual campaign was another success.

Each year firefighters camp out on the roof of Station 4 in Osborne Village to raise funds for Muscular Dystrophy Canada.

The Wpg FFs Rooftop Campout wrapped up on Friday afternoon, another successful year raising funds for @MD_Canada. Thank you to all the sponsors and to all the people who donated to this great cause, we look forward to next years campout! #NeverOffDuty #OnTheRoadTo1Million pic.twitter.com/KDAA3ZKjVB
