Mesquite Fire Fighters Participate in Dallas 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb
The Mesquite Fire Department participated in the Dallas 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb Saturday September 4th. Mesquite had 25 firefighters participating, the most out of the 101 fire departments represented. Each year, firefighters climb 110 flights of stairs (most in full bunker gear and wearing an air pack), representing the 110 floors of the World Trade Center. Each firefighter represents an individual firefighter who lost their life on that fateful day, and each firefighter carries the nametag of a fallen firefighter. “We climb because they climbed”. We promised we would never forget!
