What is Tower Run

This project was held to commemorate the 343 firefighters who died in the line of duty in the terrorist attacks that occurred in New York on September 11, 2001.

Using a building in the Yokota Air Base, teams of four compete for the fastest time by carrying breathing apparatus on the stairs equivalent to the 110th floor of the World Trade Center, which was the site of the accident at the time.
32 teams from Inagi City Fire Department, Tokyo Fire Department, Yokota Air Base Fire Brigade, U.S. Air Force, and Japan Self-Defense Force participated.
