Jeff Harkey (FireNews.net) and Mike Legeros (Legeros Fire Blog) were on scene of a fire in Raleigh this morning. The alarm came in at 10:25 am this morning for The Hibernian Bar located at 311 Glenwood Avenue. The fire would go to 2 alarms.

As you know, Willie Wines Jr., Kevin Totten, and I climbed 110 stories as a part of the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb at Firehouse Expo. We climbed with 320 others, some of whom we knew already and others who we met for the first time. The event was a huge success.

The difference between us and them was that we did it in honor of them. We did it without an airpack, without fear, without trepidation. We did it to help others never forget.
