Which material is better suited to make a work of art for the fire station than fire hoses, Ostend sculptor Josiane Vanhoutte must have thought.

 

Commissioned by the state of Ostend, she made this creation in honour of the Fire Rescue Service, who bravely defies the fiercest flames.

 

The statue was unveiled on 19 October 1998 together with the commissioning of the new fire station.
