This afternoon, an Edmonton firefighter accidentally broke a world record while raising money for muscular dystrophy.

Wesley Bauman was participating in the annual rooftop camp-out, where firefighters brave the cold and spend four nights on the roof of a downtown firehall to raise money for MD.

Firefighters climbed Station 2 earlier this morning to begin their annual "Rooftop Campout" fundraiser for Muscular Dystrophy​. Donations can be delivered to any #yeg fire station or made online at https://t.co/kffmGbTDxB until Wednesday when the crew returns. @MD_Canada pic.twitter.com/nmb0kmmEfY

This year, Bauman decided to take things a step further by spending time submerged in an "ice coffin" — an airtight chamber filled with 500 pounds of ice.

Although his goal was to raise awareness for the 50,000 Canadians living with MD, he managed to shatter a world record in the process.

His total time in the ice?

Two hours and 20 minutes.

This year, they plan to raise $100,000.
