Ron & Don Show producer Patrick got to test his might against a firefighter in training who will be competing in the Scott Firefighter Stair Climb.

The Scott Firefighter Stair Climb benefits the The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and will take place at Seattle’s Columbia Center tower on Mar. 8.

Firefighters from all over the world will participate, testing themselves in a 69-flight event course decked out in 50 pounds of “turnout gear” including fire helmets, pants, jacket, breathing apparatus and air tanks.

Colin Nash and Peter Evans from Everett Community College’s fire training program joined The Ron & Don Show Thursday to tell us about the competition and their fundraising efforts.

So far, their team has raised $1,375 of their $3,000 goal. To support their team, click here to make a donation.
