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
