Clayton 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb

Clayton 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb Climb the height of the World Trade Center to honor the 343 FDNY firefighters lost on 9/11 and raise

Clayton Fire Department will host the 11th annual 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb to benefit the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation. Members of the fire service and EMS will convene in Clayton to pay tribute to their fallen brethren by climbing 110 stories at the Enterprise Center. Some may carry breathing apparatus, fire hose or other firefighting equipment; many will be in full turnout gear. Each

participant however, will carry a photo and biographical sketch of one of the 343 FDNY firefighters lost at the World Trade Center collapse on September 11th, 2001. The stair climb was chosen for two primary reasons:
• The FDNY firefighters on 9/11 were forced to climb the stairs to rescue and evacuate people, as well as reach the fire floors.
• A commitment to firefighter safety through better fitness

This morning, seven members of the Maryland Heights Fire Protection District participated in the Clayton 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb. Each year, firefighters from across the region gather to climb 110 stories in honor of the 343 firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice on September 11, 2001. The climb is not only a tribute to those who lost their lives that day but also a reminder of the courage, dedication, and selflessness that defines the fire service. We are proud to participate in this event to ensure their legacy is never forgotten.
