"Citizen Firefighter". A work by Kenny Hunter and as already said, it's a tribute to firefighters past and present.

It was placed in summer of 2001. After the 9/11 attacks a few months later, people started laying flowers and tributes at the feet of Citizen Firefighter and so it became Glasgow's ad-hoc tribute site for 9/11. Shortly after 9/11 the Scottish Fire Brigades held a ceremony at the statue in honour of the fallen firefighters in New York.
