Firefighters` Memorial GrovePrint Page 
The Firefighters` Memorial Grove commemorates Western Australian firefighters who have been injured or lost their lives, as well as the service offered to the community by all firefighters.
Two life-sized bronze statues modelled on Western Australia's firefighters were unveiled at the firefighters memorial grove on the 4th May 2014. The statues reflect the sorrow felt by firefighters losing a comrade, and are a fitting tribute to the courage and selflessness of the State's fire service personnel.
Standing approximately 1.8 metres tall, the statues are part of an enhancement of the grove that now includes a commemorative curved stone wall and a linking pathway to other monuments.
