Local Firefighter Going Airborne

It's a bird, it's a plane... no, it's our local Fire Department.

The St. Stephen Fire Department's Annual Bucket Sit kicks off this weekend at the Atlantic Superstore... with firefighter Merton Lewis spending 50 hours in a bucket truck, 50 feet in the air.

The fundraiser is to raise money for specialized rescue equipment.

With supporters purchasing each rung of Merton's escape ladder for $50.

Lewis hits the clouds today at 4pm.
