Melbourne Firefighter Stair Climb

John LISTER (Werribee) (16:39): Thighs of steel climbed the Crown Metropol this Saturday to raise over $1 million for mental health as part of the Melbourne Firefighter Stair Climb. Congratulations to my fellow firies from our CFA brigades in Wyndham, who I joined on the climb. I have to say my time was probably not the best out of the four years that I have done it, but congratulations to those from Wyndham Vale brigade, Brendan, Maria, Stef, Sonia, Bridget, Max, Sue, Liam and Shaun; from Point Cook fire brigade, Karthick, Japinder, Doris, Daniel, Brett and Hoikee; from Hoppers Crossing fire brigade, Adrian, Shripad, Juan and Yassir; from Trug brigade, Maurice, Greg and Shane; and from my brigade Christina, Cameron, Riley, Mitchell and Aiden, and congratulations to Christina for being the fastest female from all our brigades to get up the towers, putting us all to shame.
