The Last Alarm, Bronze memorial sculpture at Milwaukee Fire Department headquarters, United States
The Last Alarm features fire boots, jacket, gloves, and helmet stacked on a black granite pedestal outside the Milwaukee Fire Department building.
Created by artist Robert Daus in 1996, the memorial lists the names of 143 Milwaukee firefighters who lost their lives in service from 1860 to 2023.
The sculpture incorporates the Milwaukee Fire Department insignia on the helmet and serves as a central point for annual memorial ceremonies on October 12.
Located at the intersection of 7th and Wells Streets, the memorial stands in a brick plaza that provides space for gatherings and contemplation.
Empty boots facing forward with folded gear represent the traditional arrangement of equipment during firefighter funeral processions.
