Mick Evans set a blistering time, getting all the way to the top in less than 20 minutes.
Always up for more punishment, Lithgow fire-fighters will once again be taking on the flights of stairs, wearing full firefighting kit weighing 20kg.
Scott Wilkinson and Cameron Stevenson will be representing the Lithgow crew in 2018 and their fundraising efforts are already under way. The internal stairs at the Lithgow station had provided a valuable training site for this year’s competitors. A total of 600 fire-fighters are expected to take part.
They are holding a trivia night at the Commercial Hotel this Thursday, September 27, with more than 100 people expected to attend.
If you are interested in booking a table (there won’t be many left), you can call 6351 2312. Table bookings are required.
Mr Stevenson said there would be great prizes on offer, donated by local business to support the cause.
The climb will be held on October 13.
