About the Sculpture
Artist James Lynxwiler created the public art installation,
“Call to Action.” The piece is a life-size sculpture of a firefighter in
motion. The artwork is cast in bronze and portrays a realistic image of today’s
firefighters. Created as a tribute to the fire service, the sculpture portrays
courage and dedication to duty.
“I consider it a privilege to combine my two greatest
passions into one unique project,” said Lynxwiler. “It allows me to give
something of myself to the fire service and the community at large.”
The artist intended the piece to convey a realistic image
of today’s Greeley fire service. It utilizes current tools and personal
protective equipment. The landmark acts as a 3-D “snapshot” of the current era
of firefighters for future generations.
