Firemen's Memorial, Bronze sculpture at Forest Hills Cemetery in Boston, United States.
The Firemen's Memorial features a bronze fireman figure in contemplation, accompanied by detailed plaques depicting firefighting scenes in relief.
John A. Wilson created this memorial in 1909 to commemorate Boston Fire Department members who died while protecting the community.
The memorial receives visitors during annual ceremonies on the second Sunday of June, organized by the Boston Fire Department Charitable Association.
Located in the Firemen's Lot section of Forest Hills Cemetery, the monument provides a central location for remembrance gatherings.
Wilson incorporated his experience from teaching at Harvard University's School of Architecture into the memorial's structural elements and design details.
