This figurative sculpture is dedicated to all Cincinnati firefighters whose lives have been lost in active service. Driesbach, Art Academy of Cincinnati faculty member, created the sculpture using a local firefighter as the model. The memorial was based upon an earlier design by Fire Lieutenant Paul B. Kathmann who was killed in the line of duty two years before its Memorial Day dedication in 1968.
