It depicts a winter firefighting scene in a neighborhood of New York City.

This was my submission for the annual members 01 AUG 09: McKinney Avenue Contemporary (MAC) Show: “Fifteen.. ANYTHING!” (Look closely and you'll find 15 firefighters;)

After watching a few seasons of 'Rescue Me' I wanted to paint a firefighting scene worthy of a George Bellows comparison and to honor my uncle Jim Henry's (Elyria FD ret.) service.

I'm planning to donate this piece to a TBD firefighting charity or museum.
