Happy Valley, ORE – Clackamas Fire District #1 firefighters will compete in the “Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Firefighter Stairclimb” in Seattle, WA on March 8, 2020 to raise money in support of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The team of 15 Clackamas firefighters will join 1,900 firefighters from around the world in climbing 69 flights of stairs in Seattle’s tallest building, the Columbia Center.  Firefighters will be wearing their full gear, including self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), jacket, helmet, gloves and face mask.

While the stairclimb is a fun and challenging competition, the real joy comes from the fundraising aspect of the event. All proceeds from fundraising efforts go to support blood cancer research of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Clackamas firefighters will be holding a fundraising raffle event and invite the public to come support the stairclimb team and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
