Description
"But sound aloud the praises, and give the victor-crown
To our noble-hearted Firemen, who fear not danger's frown."
~Frederic G.W. Fenn, "Ode to our Firemen," 1878
Six firefighters died suddenly in an huge explosion in 1988 and the community was spurred to support the campaign to create the fountain and the memorial tribute to all firefighters. This fountain located at the south end of Penn Valley Park is a collaborative effort from many private sources to pay tribute to the men and women of the city's firefighters and memorialize those who have given their lives in the line of duty. The fountain features two bronze figures surrounded by 48 streams of water falling into an 80-foot wide basin. A bronze large than life sculpture of a firefighter with his head bowed is directly to the north of the fountain.Behind the sculpture is a curved stone wall with bronze plaques that list the name of the fallen firefighters.
