On September 11th, 2001, 343 firefighters and paramedics, 23 NYPD officers, and 37 Port Authority officers bravely gave their lives rescuing victims of the attacks. In an effort to more intimately understand what those brave men and women went through, the Amite Professional Firefighters Association will be performing a 110-story stair climb at Oak Forest Academy, immediately following the ceremony at St. 1 at 10:00 AM. Any first responder that would like to participate is welcome to join and anyone who would like to simply watch is welcome also. It is completely voluntary to participate and there is no registration fee, although we will provide a "boot" for anyone who feels led to donate anything, and anything collected will be sent to the NFFF.
