At the San Diego 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb, NASSCO Firefighters joined close to 1,000 participants in a symbolic climb of 110 flights of stairs – matching the height of the World Trade Center. Each climber carried the name of a fallen first responder from September 11, 2001. Our tribute to their bravery and sacrifice continues today and every day.
