Prince Rupert firefighters pulled enough pints at the Wheelhouse Brewery in the Seafest beer gardens to raise $3,000 for the BC Burn Fund Centre.

There were 12 firefighters helping out in shifts throughout the day, with the Wheelhouse supplying the beer.

“We’re super grateful for anyone who came down to support,” said firefighter James Daniele adding that DJ Shamelesson made the event what it was. “The atmosphere was unreal. We had a great time doing it and we were glad to be a part of it.”

This was the Fourth Annual Charity Beer Garden.
