Firefighters from the Neodesha Fire Department take part in a 9/11 memorial event.

 Five members of the Neodesha Fire Department traveled to Wichita last weekend to take part in the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb. The event requires participants to climb 110 flights of stairs wearing all of their fire gear which weighs 40 to 50 pounds. NFD participants were Nic Moreland, Lindsey Reyes, Lucas Wood, Keenan Fyfe, and Johnny Boles. All five completed the challenge, which is held yearly in memory of the 343 firefighters who lost their lives on 9/11.
