Help the Fire Service Honor and Remember – Help coordinate a 9-11 Memorial Stair Climb in Your Area
What is the Mission of the NFFF Memorial Stair Climbs?
We climb to ensure that the fallen firefighters of September 11 are never forgotten; we complete their journey through dedication, training, and physical fitness.
What is a 9-11 Memorial Stair Climb?
On the morning of September 11th, Firefighters convene in high-rise buildings across the United States to climb 110 stories as a tribute to their fallen brothers. Some use air pack or carry hoses; many are in full turn-out gear; others are accompanied by rescue dogs. Each climber carries the photograph of a Firefighter who was lost on September 11, 2001.
Several climbs have been modified to enable citizens to participate, building height issues and are generally held in outdoor venues. For both types of event, the 9-11 Memorial Stair Climb is not a race, but an opportunity to honor and remember the 343 FDNY members who selflessly gave their lives so that others might live.
