Gasiorek, Dwarf statue near State Fire Service headquarters in Gaj district, Wrocław, Poland.

Gasiorek is a small bronze sculpture of a firefighter positioned at the entrance of the State Fire Service building on Borowska Street. The figure stands as one of many dwarf statues distributed across different locations throughout Wrocław.

The sculpture was created and installed in 2008 by sculptor Tomasz Moczek. It belongs to a series of artistic responses to the city's cultural past, rooted in underground art movements from earlier decades.

This bronze figure is part of a movement that has shaped the city since the 1980s, showing how residents use humor to transform public spaces. You can see how the city keeps its history alive by placing these small sculptures throughout everyday streets.

The statue is located near the Fire Service building on Borowska Street in the Gaj neighborhood. Several bus stops are within walking distance and the spot is easy to reach on foot.

The figure shows special details in how artists translate everyday professions into these tiny forms. Looking closely, you will notice features that mimic real work equipment and bring the figure to life.
