The Last Alarm - Dean Lauzé

I thought we might close the year off by looking at some of the sculpture that I've noticed lately. First is this statue of a firefighter in working uniform. It is located behind the Legislative Assembly Buildings and was installed in February, 2013. The statue is by artist Dean Lauzé. It commemorates firefighters who have lost their lives in the line of duty.

    Nice tribute. Hey are all those arms/hands still installed around the city?

    Firefighter monuments are such striking sculptures. We have two here, to commemorate city fire fighters, and the national memorial as well.

    Thanks all for your kind comments.

    @JoJo: Yes the "Hands of Time" are still in place - I think they are a permanent installation. I've photographed them all - you can see them HERE.
