Looking for more active duty firefighters as alternates

Due to the large number of wildfire deployments across Texas we are losing quite a few of our climbers.  We are looking for approximately twenty-five more active duty firefighters to join our alternate list to ensure that every single one of the 343 FDNY brothers are represented in Dallas on the ten year anniversary.  If you are interested, please send an email to registrations@dallasstairclimb.com with your name, department affiliation, email and phone number.
