Firefighters FAQ's

 

What does the money raised from the event help fund? Funds raised from the climb supports lung disease education, advocacy and research programs. Since firefighters are disproportionately affected by all types of lung disease, we hope that you will challenge yourself not only physically, but also challenge yourself by raising funds for this important cause.

What time do I climb on event day? All firefighters will climb together at a time to be determined. For start time and event day information:

  • If you are climbing with your firehouse team on a separate firehouse team: See your team captain for information and materials before the event.
  • If you are NOT climbing with your firehouse (but with Firefighters for New York): More information to follow soon.

What gear can I wear to climb? Only firefighter helmets and boots are allowed. No gear bags, tanks, hoses, masks allowed. No turn out gear. All Firefighters will receive an event t-shirt. We encourage you to wear a t-shirt honoring those lost in 9/11 or wear your firehouse shirts.
