SYRACUSE – New recruit to the Syracuse Volunteer Fire Department completed the 110 floor climb during the Nebraska 9/11 memorial stair climb at Werner Park.

 

Liza Godsey, who grew up in California and pursued her 12-year dispatching career at San Diego and Raymore, Mo., moved to the  Syracuse area from Georgia two years ago. She walked enough steps to represent the 100 stories firefighters climbed inside the World Trade Center.

 

Godsey has recently completed her probation period to become a full member of the Syracuse Fire Department.

She was given her ceremonial black helmet by Fire Chief Keith McWilliams and assistant chiefs Craig Hemje and Darin Lintner.

Godsey is finishing her firefighter class and moving on to hazmat training.

 Syracuse firefighter Justin Apel also did a stair event that was held in Grand Island.
