Textfrom the memorial:
Last Alarm
The list below is in memory of all those
who lost their lives while performing
their duties so courageously in the face of danger
You are gone but will never be forgotten
Thank you for your dedication
Yolanda vanderGaast sculpted the life-and-a-quarter size bronze firefighter with flames lapping up its feet, while rescuing a swaddled baby. Six columns of black granite list our 145 fallen firefighters. The granite is the upper stem of a cross with a Maltese Cross suspended above our Honour Roll. During any given sunrise, a shadow outlining the Maltese Cross moves across the fire station wall.
