A retired fireman is aiming to raise one million dollars to support burn survivors through the sales of his fire-safety guide.
Former Port Coquitlam fire captain Harry Fast, who now resides in Ocean Park, is hoping to raise awareness about home fire safety while raising the hefty amount by selling 100,000 copies of his book Your First Defense For Home Fire Safety.
All proceeds from the safety guide will benefit the BC Professional Fire Fighters Burn Fund.
In a release, Fast said he saw firsthand the care and treatment burn victims receive through the organization when his son suffered severe second-degree burns to both his hands.
