MvVey says he will literally being going up and down the ladder on the firetruck for the three hours of the challenge.
He adds pledges can be made online and the public can also donate in person the day of the event.
McVey says it will be a great family event with Sparky the Fire Dog, other firefighters, and fire trucks on display.
