The events that unfolded 20 years ago on September 11th hit especially close to home, especially reporter olivia de janeiro shows us how one northern california Fire Department is memorializing the lives of those lost that day. Its been a years long tradition. Hundreds of Fire Departments around northern california coming together in sacramento to climb 110 flights of stairs each year on September 11th marking and honoring the firefighters who lost their lives on that day so many years ago. But the past 2 years that huge event has been canceled because of the covid19 pandemic. So were making that happen on our own. Sacramento, metro fire, taking matters into their own hands this year and doing a stair climb at their station in citrus heights using to training towers. 20 recruits in the Fire Academy climbed 110 flights of stairs representing the 110 stories in the World Trade Center climbing for about an hour and a half straight in full Fire Gear on September 11th those firefighters from the fdny. They were wearing full year. Plus cba plus those packs. So. This this is all just to commemorate the not only honoring the firefighters who lost their lives 20 years ago but also better understanding the sacrifice every firefighter makes when theyre sworn in on that day. You had 343 firefighters that climbed to their death and many of them knew what they were doing when they were making. I climb. Theres reports that they were giving each other hugs. They knew they werent going home that day. That level of sacrifice needs to be memorialized in sacramento. Fire takes pride in that we will never forget. And theyre hopeful that by this time next year the traditional stair climb in Downtown Sacramento will be able to happen again. I think everybody just wants like to go back to normal or we need to planning be a phenomenal thing to bring back. Again.
