2018 Chief of Dept Pete Hayden and Deputy Chief Jay Jonas, the chiefs that have travelled out since said these two are the Rockstars of the FDNY, Chief Hayden was one of the first chiefs on scene on September 11th, his story is amazing, and Jay’s story being trapped in the North Tower with is crew while rescuing Ms Harris pictured below. Jay was the Captain of Ladder 6 that day. Thier wives Judy and Rita both accompanied them out and too had amazing stories to tell. 
2017 we saw Chief of Dept Pete Hayden (Retired) and Steve SanFillipo, was great to hear stories from Chief Hayden. Again many memorable visits. And again well received.

Last weekend we organized and ran our 20th firefighter Sky Tower climb! Our biggest and most successful to date.
Incredible to think of the journey this amazing event has taken us on! From a crazy naive idea by Tony Scott 21 years ago to where we are today!
We have raised over 16 million dollars over the 20 years all for Leukaemia and Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand
, we started with a handful of firefighters and this year we had over 1100 enter and do the climb on the day! This year we have raised an incredible 1.95million ( it’s still going up since last weekend!!) dollars! Truly unbelievable.
So incredibly humbling to be honored to work with all these amazing and dedicated firefighters each year, you truly go from strength to strength in your dedication to the event and the charity.
To our talented volunteers who turn up at the crack of dawn and work your heart out on the day, and some for days before, to make it run like clockwork, we simply could not do this without you. Our team of amazing medics Bradley Dridan, who get us all back on our feet ( me included this year!!!)
We are so grateful for the skill level you provide which equals an A&E department on the day!!
The Broadcast Arts film team headed by Sharon Murphy and Rhys for the film footage and live camera action.
Our core FireUp Events team, Brian Powell
, Matt Banister and James Thompson
for all the behind the scenes prep in the days before and afterwards, you make us look so good!! 🥰
If I have forgotten anyone I am sorry and please call me out!! Xx
Finally our charity and our sponsors, Leukaemia and blood cancer NZ you are a pleasure to work with and support, your work touches so many of us, and to SkyCity we love your playground that you provide and your dedication and support for what we all do, and Auckland Airport for your longstanding sponsorship that has enabled the event to grow. And to Fire and Emergency New Zealand for supporting us in all we do and playing such a big role in our events.
We thank you all. What an incredible journey it’s been! ❤️
…….heres to another 20 years!!!!

Great to see the Kerikeri firefighters that are climbing in this years event out at the local car show. Some amazing fundraising going on this year.
https://www.fireup.co.nz/merchandise/coins/2024-sky-tower-stair-challenge-coin-pre-order/ this the link if you would like to buy the coin. Remember they will be sent out on May 20th just after the climb.
Here is a preview of the 20th anniversary Firefighter Sky Tower Challenge Coin. These are only made every five years for this event. They are available now if you’re entered the Tower Climb through your home page on the Leukeamia website. Coins will also be able to be ordered from the Fireup website from tomorrow. Both options of ordering are for a very limited time due to us having to place the order. A limited amount of coins will be available to buy at the climb.
Some great fundraising ideas happening around the country, this great idea of being sponsored per time each firefighter climbed the summit from Palmeston in the South Island (not to be confused with Palmeston North!)
Preferential entries are open, if you’re been expecting an entry check your email. Also please check your junk folder if you haven’t got an email but expecting one. You can also message us
