Nelson professional firefighters were out in full force earlier this month during the Road Kings annual Queen City Cruise. The local firefighters were set up in the downtown selling Oso Negro coffee with all proceeds going to the BC Professional Firefighters Burn Fund, which puts money into the Vancouver burn ward. Coffee for a Cause had three specialty brewed Oso Negro coffee to choose from — Action Ready, Interior Attack and Night Shift. In total the local crew sold 160 bags of coffee, which was all donated by the local roaster. The effort collected more than $1,300 for the fund. Earlier this week Oso Negro’s Mike Tremblay (middle) gathered at the Nelson firehall with firefighters Gord Rae (left) and Greg Procter (right) to hand over the cheque.
