Wayne Community College’s Public Safety Division held its annual 9/11 Tribute Stair Climb on Wednesday on the Magnolia Building exterior stairs and breezeway.
Emergency medical and law enforcement students, along with local first responders, all participated in the climb at 9 a.m.
The stair climb participants ran the equivalent of 78 flights of stairs to replicate the efforts of firefighters who responded to the 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. The 78th floor was the highest floor they were able to reach in the center’s south tower before it collapsed.
