Firefighters climb Seattle's Columbia Center building to support cancer research

Firefighters climb the Columbia Center

Firefighters turned out to climb the Columbia Center in downtown Seattle on Sunday—it's a brutal exercise but worth it, as it is for a good cause.

Thousands of firefighters climbed to the top of Seattle's tallest building Sunday for a good cause.

Men and women came from three different countries to take part in the 32nd annual Firefighter Stairclimb. It's a fundraising event that benefits the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Almost 70 floors up in Seattle sky, firefighters finished their long trek to the 73rd floor. Each firefighter was in full gear from mask to boots, adding on up to 65 pounds of extra weight.

Bald eagle parents protect their egg during California snowstorm

Recently released footage shows two bald eagles shielding their only egg from the elements during a California snowstorm. One of those storms swept through last week, dropping 5 to 6 inches of snow around the northern California town of Redding – the home of eagle parents Liberty and Guardian.

"This is the very first time in 18 nesting seasons they’ve had to incubate their egg with snow in their nest," said Terri Lhuillier, Friends of the Redding Eagles founder and director. "It has snowed here before, but it’s always been before Liberty has laid her eggs."
