Fallen Fire Fighters Memorial
This memorial commemorates the firefighters who have died in the service of the citizens of Toronto since 1848.
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.
