Once again Richland firefighters finished strong this past weekend, climbing 69 flights of stairs in Seattle, all in the name of fighting cancer.
Out of 1,800 firefighters, Richland firefighter Andy Sabin came in 34th and Adam Hardgrove come in at 46th.
Every year, the Richland Fire Departent, along with others from around the world raise money to support Leukemia and the Lyphoma society.
Firefighters said the climb was difficult, especially since they were wearing all their gear.
