San Jose Firefighters Climb For Life




Nine San Jose Firefighters led by team Captain Ryan Shea participated in the "Fight for Air Climb" which took place on March 27th in San Francisco. These firefighters donated their time, procured sponsors and climbed 52 flights of stairs in full turn outs and SCBA's. Their endeavor contributed to the total of $315,000 that was raised to assist the American Lung Association in providing education, advocacy and research programs that improve life and prevent lung disease. Our own dispatcher Monika Kirk and her husband also participated in the climb and stayed to volunteer for the rest of the day.
