Who We Are
SALT RIVER FIREFIGHTERS, THE NATIONAL FALLEN FIREFIGHTERS FOUNDATION, AND SALT RIVER FIELDS AT TALKING STICK PROUDLY PRESENT THE 9th ANNUAL 9/11 MEMORIAL STAIR CLIMB SEPTEMBER 13, 2025.

All proceeds will benefit the NFFF, the Salt River Firefighters Relief Fund, and provide assistance to families of our fallen brothers and sisters in the Public Safety community.
Get Involved
The 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb is a way to honor and remember the FDNY firefighters, police, and EMS who selflessly gave their lives so that others might live on 9-11-2001. Each participant pays tribute to an FDNY firefighter, police officer, or EMS by climbing the equivalent of the 110 stories of the World Trade Center.
Your individual tribute not only remembers the sacrifice of an FDNY brother, but symbolically completes their heroic journey to save others. Through firefighter and community participation we can ensure that each of the 343 firefighters, 60 police officers, and 10 EMS are honored and that the world knows that we will never forget.
Our mission is to honor and remember America's fallen fire heroes, to provide resources to assist their survivors in rebuilding their lives, and work within the Fire Service Community to reduce firefighter deaths and injuries
