EVERETT FIREFIGHTER STAIRCLIMB TEAM

This is the 32nd year that the Everett Firefighter Department will be participating in the Leukemia & Lymphoma Firefighter Stairclimb!

52 Everett Firefighters will be climbing in full fire and breathing gear in a physically challenging competition that represents the struggle that blood cancer patients endure. Every step to the top serves as a reminder there's still work to be done in funding and finding cures.
