Good luck and well done to our own Lexi Grant!

Good luck to Bristol Airport firefighter Lexi Grant, who is taking part in a 9/11 memorial stair climb tomorrow, Saturday 5 September, in America.

Marking the 25th anniversary of 9/11, Lexi has been chosen as one of 343 firefighters to climb the equivalent of the 110 floors of the Twin Towers, in honour of the 343 firefighters who lost their lives on 11 September 2001.

Taking on the challenge in full fire kit, which weighs over 10kg, Lexi will continually walk up and down stairs in the Atlanta Braves stadium in Atlanta, Georgia in hot and humid conditions.

The Terry Farrell Memorial Stair Climb, named after the veteran and highly decorated firefighter who served during the attack, unites fire fighters around the world as a mark of solidarity.

Well done Lexi! 🙌

If you see fire engines up by the bishops palace tonight, please don’t worry, it’s just part of our training regime.

We are training by lifting water from an open source and using the moat to achieve this.

All water used will be returned to the moat.

Using off site training allows us to practice in a more real life scenario and provides invaluable experience for crews

We’ll be there from 7pm until 9pm.
