COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – Several communities throughout the nation and in central Ohio honored those who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001. In Columbus, firefighters participated in the 9th annual Columbus 9/11 Stair Climb at Chase Tower Sunday, an event that also raised more than $30,000 in funding for the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) counseling services unit. On Sept. 11, 2001, 343 firefighters lost their lives saving others. Now, 21 years later, community members and firefighters from all over Columbus and surrounding areas climbed 110 stories in their honor.
