This rose is about 4 feet in diameter, made of stamped multicolored concrete. Fire Station #1 is along Enterprise Way, at number 2255, at the edge of an industrial area to the west, with commercial nearby and housing to the east.
Across the sidewalk from the compass rose is a monument to the firefighters of years past of Kelowna. It is a very impressive statue of two firefighters, one from yesteryear and the other from contemporary times, engaged in the rescue of a young girl from a fire. One definitely needs to stop and read the plaques at the monument while checking out this compass rose.
