Firefighters from Ainsworth will climb 85 floors of steps for the American Lung Association’s Fight for Air event in Des Moines. On April 10th, firefighters and law enforcement officials from across the state will climb the stairs in downtown Des Moines in honor or memory of a fallen firefighter, loved one or lung disease survivor.

Over 30 departments will be represented. Firefighters will complete the climb while wearing 80 pounds of full fire turnout gear. A trophy will be handed out to the firehouse and police department with the best finish time.
