New York State Fallen Firefighters Memorial

Between the Justice Building and The Egg on the Empire State Plaza, on park-like ground bordered by Norway maples. A ten-foot bronze of two firefighters dragging an injured comrade away from the wall of death, backed by fifty-four feet of granite. Every firefighter New York has lost in the line of duty since 1811 is cut into it, and the names are set at random so there is always room for one more.
