It is located at 4141 West Mill Road at Milwaukee Fire Department Engine Company #9. DescriptionThe firefighter is depicted wearing a uniform and helmet. He reaches up with both arms to lift a small child from a windowsill. The child grasps the windowsill with one hand and reaches toward the fireman with the other.[1] Historical informationWussow was awarded the commission for Dauntless Guardian after competing unsuccessfully for a previous City of Milwaukee Percent for Art commission opportunity. According to the Milwaukee Journal, Alderman James Kondziella kept Wussow's maquette on his desk at City Hall following the first competition and recommended her when his district was building a new fire station.[2] Wussow was inspired to create Dauntless Guardian after talking with firefighters about their jobs as she "went from one station house to another."[2] The sculpture was dedicated on October 8, 1984.
