While many of us relaxed over the Labor Day weekend, some Frisco firefighters geared up to walk the steps at Toyota Stadium, home of the Major League soccer's FC Dallas club. They were taking the steps in honor of the nearly 350 New York firefighters and more than 70 police officers who died helping rescue victims of the September 11th terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center.
This Saturday is the 20th anniversary of their deaths.
Frisco Fire Chief Mark Piland says his firefighters signed up to wear their full turnout gear as they walked an equivalent number of steps as those New York first responders climbed as they rescued victims in the 110-floor twin towers.
