The statue depicts a lone Fireman- staring upward and the his proper right. Equipped with all the gear that accompanies Firemen in the line of duty.

The statue was washed using non-ionic detergent.  Surface corrosion was minimized using Biox and soft brass brushes.  The entire statue was repatinated (hot applied). This step was preceded with a poultice treatment to extract the iron stains caused by a galvanic response between the armature and cast bronze. After patination, and rinse, two applications of conservator’s hot wax treatment were administered, cooled and buffed. 

This Statue was commissioned by the Fair Haven Fire Department in honor of the 100th Anniversary of the Fire House This was Brian Hanlon’s first Fireman sculpture.
