This evening, 5 UAFD members participated in the 9/11 Memorial stair climb in honor of the 343 FDNY firefighters who lost their lives on this day 23 years ago. 110 stories is equivalent to 2,200 stairs! This event was hosted by Planet Fitness (Gettysburg Pike, Mechanicsburg location).
Great job Grace, Lexy, Brandon, Aiden and Talen!
