A Coquitlam Fire/Rescue firefighter will be bringing in thousands of dollars for his department's nutritional snacks for kids program - just for taking his shirt off and being buff.
Mark Warwick, 30, is Mr. January in the 2015 Hall of Flame calendar, a fundraiser by the Vancouver Firefighters' Charitable Society that, this year, is splitting the net proceeds between its causes and the calendar boys' charities of choice.
Warwick, a bachelor, said he picked the department's new nutritional snacks for school kids program "because I think it's good for us to get a strong start. There's a need in the community and I want to help."
Warwick also said kids will study better if they're not hungry.
The calendars, which went on sale last month, are $15 at London Drugs and Save-On-Foods.
