Plastika patrona hasicu sv. Floriána ve tvaru hydrantu mezi garážemi hasicské zbrojnice SDH Nové Mesto na Morave. Narozdíl od vetšiny del autora – Michala Olšiaka – toto není socha ale plastika na fasáde. Spojuje v sobe dva symboly spojené s hasici. Hydrant a patrona hasicu. Patrí k povedeným dílum autora, instalované bylo toto dílo na konci brezna 2010.

"Florian lived in the time of the Roman emperors Diocletian and Maximian, and was commander of the imperial army in the Roman province of Noricum. In addition to his military duties, he was also responsible for organizing firefighting brigades.
The Roman regime sought to eradicate Christianity, and sent Aquilinus to persecute Christians. When Aquilinus ordered Florian to offer sacrifice to the Roman gods in accordance with Roman religion, he refused, and cheerfully accepted the beatings of the soldiers, who used clubs, spikes and fire to torture him. He was executed by drowning in the Enns River with a stone tied around his neck.
Later a woman named Valeria had a vision in which she saw him; Florian, in this vision, declared his intent to be buried in a more appropriate location."
