"Uniformed firefighter stands in a round basin. He holds a child in his proper left arm and a lantern in his proper right hand. Uniform items include a long belted coat and hat. The basin stands on a foliated stem and the whole work stands within a low basin"
"...erected in 1914 as a memorial to one of Owego’s early fire chiefs, but serves as a reminder of the service and dedication of all of Owego’s volunteer firemen that have served the village since 1828."
"Homage--Baker, George Hobert"
