Fire Critic An Unadulterated View of the Fire Service
This past weekend there were 55 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb events across the Country. Somewhere between 12,000 and 15,000 firefighters participated in them. Special thanks to all of the volunteers who helped make them a huge success. Also a huge thanks to the companies who allowed us to climb in their buildings and to all of the businesses who donated water and other things to the climbs!
You can view youtube videos of the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climbs here
Here is links to the climbs in no particular order. If you have links to add send them to me or put them on my facebook page!
I am looking for video, photos, and links to stair climbs. Thanks
