Multiple local emergency agencies and residents are participating in the annual Fight for Air Climb Sunday morning.

Teams from the Pella Police Department, Pella Fire Department, and Emily Haase will all climb numerous flights of stairs on Sunday morning in downtown Des Moines.

Lt. Paul Haase says the Pella PD has expanded into the law enforcement challenge over the past few years.

“I think it’s just a great event that we’re about to participate in and raise awareness for lung disease,” he sday. “It also gives an opportunity for members of the Pella Police Department to be a part of that community and hopefully make a small impact into raising those funds for the American Lung Association.”

The Pella Fire Department is sending multiple teams to participate in the firefighter challenge. Pella Fire was the top fundraising department at the event in 2016.
