The National Fallen Firefighters (NFFF) has joined forces with the Pittsburgh Pirates to host a Fallen Firefighter Memorial Stair Climb at PNC Park Nov. 9.
Firefighters, first responders and the public are invited to climb 2,200 steps to simulate the 110 stories of the World Trade Center, where 343 firefighters died on 9/11.
Check-in begins at 8 a.m. Opening ceremonies will start at 8:30 a.m., and the climb will start at 9 a.m. It will end at 11:30 a.m. At the conclusion of the climb, each participant will have the opportunity to ring a ceremonial bell and read aloud the name of a firefighter in whose name he or she climbed.
Proceeds will support the First Responder Center for Excellence, which is dedicated to health issues surrounding first responders. For information go to www.firehero.org.
