9/11 Memorial Star Climb
11 September 2015
Our first XI: brigade members who today conquered Sky Tower
S.O. Andrew Galloway comes back to earth after the Memorial Stair Climb.

The Brigade took part in this evening's stair climb to honour those, especially fire-fighters, who lost their lives 14 years ago during the New York World Trade Centre terrorists' attack. The 9/11 ceremony also recalls New Zealand fire-fighters who died in the course of duty. Following a brief formal service led by our member, S.S.O. Ross Bay, scores of firefighters made the testing climb 1,276 steps to the top of the Sky Tower. 11 members of our brigade successfully completed the climb. Others assisted with traffic management in city streets surrounding the tower.
