On Saturday, January 28, 2012 from 9am – 12pm, firefighters from Forest Grove Fire & Rescue and the Cornelius Fire Department will throw on their gear and hit the stair climbers at The Edge Gym in Beaverton to raise money for the 2012 Scott Firefighter Stair Climb that takes place on March 11, 2012 in Seattle.
The firefighters will be practicing for Stair Climb which consists of 69 flights (1,311 stairs) - not an easy task in full gear, a mask and an air pack. The Scott Firefighter Stair Climb is an annual event that is one of the largest firefighter competitions in the world. Every year firefighters from all over the world come together in Seattle for the grueling climb up the Columbia Center, all to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to help aid in the fight against blood cancers.
While the firefighters practice climbing, the public is invited to come out and cheer them on and leave donations in the fire helmets. Anyone is invited to come, even if you are not a member of The Edge Gym.
The event details are as follows:
Where: The Edge Gym located at 16365 NW Twin Oaks Drive, Beaverton, OR 97006
Date: Saturday, January 28, 2012
Time: 9am – 12pm
