“We invite you to come join us as we climb in memory of all we have lost,” Poudre Fire Authority said in announcing the event.

Special event T-shirts will be available during the climb, with proceeds supporting the 1945 Foundation, which assists Poudre Fire Authority firefighters and their families during times of need.
