Physical Plant metal shop welder Francisco Delgado does the final welding on Seattle’s memorial to its fallen firefighters. The memorial, designed and built by UW sculpture students, was dedicated earlier this month after the Seattle Fire Festival Parade. The piece is located on the north side of Main on Occidental. The dedication included speeches by Mayor Paul Schell, Fire Chief James Sewell and realtor Don Kennedy, one of the initiators of the project. Names of the Seattle firefighters who have died in the line of duty during the last hundred years (about 34), were read, after which a fire bell was rung. The bronze memorial was designed by UW graduate Hai Ying Wu and built by sculpture students under the direction of Art Professor Norman Taylor. KS-980418-23 |
