Firefighters in Bragg Creek will be spending 30 hours of their weekend camped out on a roof top.

The 7th annual Heroes in the Sky event is back with members of the Redwood Meadows Firefighters Association firefighters taking to the family foods grocery store's roof from noon on Saturday until 6 p-m on Sunday.

Gary Robertson, event organizer, says the money raises funds for an important cause.

"Heroes in the sky directly is a fundraiser for our health and wellness programs that we offer for our volunteer fire fighters so our goal this year is $10,000 and that'll be what we use next year for all of our health and wellness programs that we're able to offer."

Roberts says the event has lots planned to keep people of all ages entertained.

"We will have some performers out there, we'll have face painting, fire truck tours... we're doing some fire extinguisher training for the community as well. We have t-shirts and hats for sale, the barbeque is going on all day... Saturday evening if parents can take their kids home and come back we're having a barbeque through the evening and live music until midnight."

On Sunday, the Man Van from the Prostate Cancer Centre will be at the event from 1 to 4 p.m. providing free PSA blood tests to about 90 men over the age of 40.
