The Annual Tullahoma Fire Department Stair Climb is Friday at Wilkins Stadium

September 6, 2023

The Tullahoma Fire Department will conduct its annual stair climb in remembrance of 9/11 on Friday (September 8). The firefighters will wear full gear and walk up and down the bleachers at Wilkins Stadium. The climb begins at 8:30 a.m.

The climb honors the 343 firefighters and first responders who lost their lives trying to save others when the World Trade Center Towers crumbled to the ground on September 11, 2001, after two planes crashed into the twin towers.
