28 of our Jr. Firefighters joined departments and civilians from across the country to climb Stone Mountain in honor of those firefighters we lost on 9/11. Some wore gear and some added air packs to their climb.
To say we are so proud of them is an understatement. They were so encouraging of each other, never leaving anyone behind, and embracing the challenge they were participating in.
Obligatory stop at Bruesters Ice Cream on the way home was in order.

This morning 29 of our junior firefighters will join other career and volunteer firefighters from across the region in climbing Stone Mountain to honor those lost on 9/11.
These wonderful young people, who were not even alive that terrible day, have invested themselves in honoring those that came before them.

Join our Jr. Firefighters and Career/Volunteer Firefighters for the 25th Anniversary Memorial Climb up Stone Mountain. We've got 26 Jr's who will carry the name and story of a fallen 9/11 Firefighter up the mountain to honor their sacrifice. Come climb with us! We promised to NEVER FORGET.

🇺🇸 9/11 STONE MOUNTAIN MEMORIAL CLIMB
Friday, September 11, 2026 • Climb starts at 0900
Twenty-five years on, we still climb. For the 343. For the brothers and sisters lost that day and in the years since. For the families still carrying it.
This climb belongs to all of us. All departments, crews, and climbers are welcome — whether you’re rolling with us, with your own crew, or standing alongside the many groups holding their own climbs in remembrance on the same trail that morning. Different patches, same mountain, same reason.
Meet us at the base of the Walk-Up Trail at Stone Mountain Park, bring your gear, bring your people, and bring the names you carry.
📍 Meet: Base of the Walk-Up Trail — Stone Mountain Park
🍺 Post-climb fellowship: Will Henry’s Tavern, 1228 Rockbridge Rd, Stone Mountain, GA 30087
If your crew is hosting a climb that day too — tag us. We’ll see you on the rock.
Never Forget. 343.
