Located on the northeast side of Edmond at the Fire Training Center, at the main entrance, stands this sculpture which silently tells the story of the firefighter. Title "Reunion", this bronze sculpture consists of a firefighter in full uniform who is holding a young girl in his left arm. In turn, she is holding onto her pet dog, and looking adoringly into his face. On his right side, a young boy with a firefighter hat, stands with his stuffed toy, looking up at his hero. The sculpture is a beautifully depicted relationship between the dedicated firefighter and those he serves.
