Collyer Monument, Firefighter memorial in Mineral Spring Park, Pawtucket, United States.
The life-size bronze sculpture features Samuel Smith Collyer in full firefighter uniform standing on a granite pedestal at the intersection of Mineral Spring Avenue and Main Street.
Built in 1890 by sculptor Charles Parker Dowler, the monument honors Fire Chief Samuel Smith Collyer who died in 1884 after a horse-drawn hose carriage accident.
The monument represents the dedication of firefighters and stands as a testament to the sacrifice of emergency responders in the Pawtucket community.
The monument sits on a 4.5-foot-wide and 8-foot-tall Westerly granite base, featuring a bronze plaque that depicts the accident that claimed Collyer's life.
The citizens of Pawtucket collectively funded the $2,500 construction cost of this memorial, which includes a detailed sculpture holding a period-appropriate fire trumpet.
