Bucket Sit Goes Up Next Week

It's a bird, it's a plane, no - it's a firefighter.


The St. Stephen Fire Department announcing the 8th Annual Bucket Sit next weekend at the Atlantic Superstore.

The fundraiser sees local firefighter Merton Lewis sitting in the bucket of a bucket truck, 50 feet in the air, for 50 hours.

Dwayne Richards from the department says they have finally raised enough money from past bucket sits, to buy specialized rescue equipment, however, they will continue the fundraiser as a way to keep up with the demands of the ever-changing rescue equipment.

Lewis hits the skies next Thursday ( Sept 6th ) at 4pm until Saturday ( Sept 8th ) at 6pm.
