🚒🇺🇸 This morning, our on-shift firefighters from Union Fire Protection District went above and beyond the call of duty — completing their own Tunnel to Towers 5K walk in full turnout gear. 👨‍🚒🔥Each step was taken in honor of the heroes we lost on 9/11 and in support of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, which continues to serve our nation's first responders, military heroes, and their families.Walking 3.1 miles in 60+ pounds of gear isn’t easy — but it’s nothing compared to the sacrifice made by those we remember today. We’re proud to honor their legacy. 💪❤️#NeverForget #TunnelToTowers #UnionFire #Firefighters #ServiceAboveSelf #HonorTheFallenWhat is the Tunnel to Towers 5K Walk/Run?The Tunnel to Towers 5K is a national event held annually in memory of FDNY Firefighter Stephen Siller, who ran through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel to the Twin Towers on 9/11 — in full gear — after hearing the news of the attacks.
