This year marks the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attack on our country.
On Sept. 11, 2001, 343 New York City firefighters died when the World Trade Towers collapsed. The National Fallen Fire fighters Foundation sponsors 9-11 Memorial Stair Climbs across the country to remember the firefighters who laid down their lives that day. Funds raised by the Stair Climbs go to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation to support the Counseling Services Unit of the FDNY and to develop programs to reduce the injury and line of duty deaths.
The Lancaster 9-11 Memorial Stair Climb is not a race. Participants climb the equivalent of 110 stories while carrying a picture badge of one of the fallen FDNY firefighters. Completing the stair climb symbolically completes the climb firefighters tried to do on September 11, 2001.
The 2025 Lancaster 9-11 Memorial Stair Climb took place Saturday, Sept. 6, at Penn Medicine Park. This was the 15th year for the Lancaster event. Firefighters from Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland and Virginia have participated.
