Wimberley Firefighter honors 9/11 victims with 110 story climb

Nearly 3,000 people died on Sept. 11, 2001 when terrorists attacked the World Trade Center in New York City. While thousands of terrified people tried to climb down the 110 flights of stairs to escape the building, a unique few were doing the exact opposite. They were climbing up.

There were 60 police officers killed, eight emergency medical technicians, one patrolman and 343 New York City Firefighters. Thomas Hetzel was a firefighter for Ladder Company 13 and lost his life trying to save others on that fateful day.

Last week, Wimberley Firefighter Christopher Robbins honored Hetzel and the hundreds of other first responders that died on September 11 at the 9/11 Memorial Climb.
