Clallam County Fire District 2 firefighter Tim Davis sprays down a car at the 8th Street Car Wash in Port Angeles on Saturday to raise money to participate in the 28th annual Firefighter Stairclimb, scheduled for March 10 at the Columbia Center tower in Seattle as a benefit for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
