Your View: Stepping Up to Remember

On Sunday, personnel from CAL FIRE/San Diego County Fire participated in the San Diego 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb at the Hilton Bay Front in San Diego. The event honors the 403 emergency responders that made the ultimate sacrifice on Sept. 11, 2001.

In addition, San Diego County Fire Truck 38 displayed the United States flag at the entrance to the event.

Funds raised at the stair climb benefit Firefighter Aid, a San Diego-based nonprofit that provides charitable assistance to firefighters and families in crisis and promotes awareness of firefighter's health and safety issues and their impacts on families and communities.
