Honor the Fallen with the 9/11 Stair Climb at Firehouse Expo

July 6, 2015
The National Fallen Firefighters will host a 9/11 Stair Climb during next week's Firehouse Expo.

There is still time to register for next week's 9/11 Stair Climb during Firehouse Expo in Baltimore. 

"Firehouse is proud to host the 9/11 Stair climb once again at this year's Firehouse Expo," Firehouse Editor-in-Chief Tim Sendelbach said. "The 9/11 Stair Climb is not only a way for firefighters to demonstrate their support for the survivors of those we’ve lost, it's also a great opportunity the fire service to demonstrate what it truly means to say never forget."

Each participant will climb the equivalent of 110 stories -- the height of the World Trade Center towers -- in this non-timed event.

The event, hosted by the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, takes place on Saturday, July 18 at the Hilton Baltimore.

Registration starts at 8:30 a.m. and the stair climb kicks off at 10.

The $30 registration provides assistance to surviving families and co-workers of the 343 firefighters who perished on Sept. 11. 

Sendelbach encourages crews to register together to build camaraderie. 

"There is not greater demonstration of service before self than the sacrifice made by 343 firefighter on 9/11," Sendelbach added.
