The 7 foot tall bronze statue is listed on the Smithsonian Art Inventories Catalog where it is described as "A full-length figure of a firefighter stands outfitted with mask and air tank, holding a baby wrapped in a blanket in his arms. A plaque lists the names, dates, and towns of firefighters who have lost their lives since 1901 in the line of duty."
