The free event will run from 9 am until noon, offering fun for the entire family in support of the Kelowna Professional Firefighters Charitable Society (KPFCS).

Salvation Army volunteers will be there to serve coffee and a pancake breakfast, which will be by donation with proceeds going to the KPFCS.

There will be plenty for the kids to do, including a bouncy castle, face painting, a firefighting challenge and visits with Ember and Sparky, the FireSmart mascots.
