I live next to a firefighter.  He works for Sioux Falls Fire Department and I'm reminded everyday how thankful we are to have these men and women on the job 24/7.

An event later this year will honor those brave firefighters who lost their lives on September 11th in the World Trade Center.

Step Up For Heroes will be held here in Sioux Falls September 19th, 2015 at Howard Wood Field.

Organizers say the climb is open to anyone and will challenge you to climb 110 flights of stairs to honor the firefighters.
