Memorial Stair Climb event scheduled for 9/11
August 18, 2021
This year the local fire departments are looking to host a major memorial event for
the 20th anniversary of the 911 terrorist attacks. Each year the local fire departments
hold a memorial ceremony to honor the fallen firefighters from New York at the World
Trade Center. However, on the 20th-anniversary, members of the University Fire Department
and other local departments are reaching out to the University of Alaska Fairbanks
and Fairbanks North Star Borough communities to join them in a memorial stair climb
at the Carlson Center in Fairbanks at 9 a.m. on September 11, 2021.
Registration is OPEN! Please join University Fire Department members along with Fairbanks
area firefighters, law enforcement, local officials and the public as we pay tribute
to our fallen heroes from that fateful day 20 years ago. Proceeds will be going to
the Alaska State Fallen Firefighters Fund.

that each of the 343 firefighters are honored and the world knows we will never forget.
