In July of 2001, a careless camper's fire lept free from its ring to run wild in the forest just south of the town of Wilson, Wyoming, seven miles from the town of Jackson. No life or homes were lost, but the comunity wanted to celebrate the tremendous effort, support and dedication on the firefighters |
| from across the country, as well as our local community. The creation of this monument included 12 seprate bronze castings including, a Fireman's jacket, axe, helmet, and polaski. A bronze plaque listing all local, state and federal agencies involved in the containment of the fire was also created. |  |
|
|
A second plaque describes the events surrounding the fire, and two plaques were created depicting the fire retardant Bombers and water carring Helicopters used. |
A bronze relief
map helps show the location of the fire in relation to Wilson,
and how Fish Creek and the Snake River were such close valuable
resources. The map also outlines the origin point of the fire,
and daily expansion boundaries, and final containment. The viewer
can view the burn area from the monument location. |
 Three bronze trees were created using actual
trees from the burn site, measuring eight, six and three feet
tall. A birds nest was discovered in one of the trees, and was
cast along with the tree. It is a special reminderas to the life
saved, and preserved. |

This work was created for the University of Utah in their Red Butte Garden area. The cow and calf moose are set in a live stream that flows through the gardens from the canyon above. |
| The bull moose sits on a bench in the trees above the cow and calf, keeping a watchful eye. Children enjoy climbing on this back and rubbing the tines of his antlers. |  |

The colt is Pleasant Colony, a Kentucky Derby winner, along with his mother, Sun Colony. |
