Shoshone County News — First responders and community members in Wallace are preparing for the annual September 11 stair climb, a commemorative event honoring those lost in the terrorist attacks of 2001. As reported by KREM, the gathering serves as a local tribute to the victims and the emergency personnel who responded that day.
The event brings together local law enforcement, firefighters, and medical staff alongside residents for a physical act of remembrance. Participants will ascend stairs to symbolize the climb up the World Trade Center towers, turning personal exertion into a collective memorial. The stair climb has become a staple in the Silver Valley community calendar, offering a tangible way for Wallace residents to reflect on national tragedy while supporting local first responders.
Wallace, known for its mining heritage and tight-knit civic culture, often sees strong turnout for events that blend public safety appreciation with historical remembrance. The September 11 observance provides an opportunity for the community to stand in solidarity with emergency services who risk their lives daily. No specific registration details or start times were provided in the initial announcement from KREM.
