Some 343 firefighters from throughout Colorado and Wyoming will participate
in a memorial stair climb Friday, Sept. 11, at 1801 California. The
memorial will be from 9 to 11 a.m.
Participants will climb the building’s 52 flights of stairs twice to pay
tribute to the 343 firefighters who were killed when the World Trade Center
collapsed due to terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.
Started by Denver Fire District Chief Dave McGrail in 2004, the memorial at
1801 California is thought to be the only one of its kind in the nation.
