Dedicated by President Calvin Coolidge in 1926, the tower honors the fallen while celebrating peace and victory. Memorials to those who would sacrifice in World War II were less than a generation away. Over the years, Kansas City has lost more than 100 firefighters, all dedicated to keeping the community safe. The Firefighters Fountain and Memorial, located just south of Union Station in Penn Valley Park, depicts two bronze firefighters surrounded by streams of water falling into an 80-foot wide basin. A stone wall behind the sculpture documents KC’s history and the names of the fallen, beginning in 1887.
