Firefighters play such an important role in all of our communities and
towns. Pay tribute for all of their bravery, life-saving and heroic efforts
with heart-warming figurine. He is ready for the siren to sound, dressed in
his red jacket, helmet and boots while holding the fire hose. Firefighter,
modeled by master sculptor Helmut Fischer in 1977 was not released in the
United States until 1999. Made in Germany. It carries a “First Issue 2000
Millennium” special backstamp in the first year of production. In the wake
of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, Goebel
donated a select group of figurines to the Local Chapters to be raffled
off. All proceeds from the raffles would then go to benefit families of the
victims. The select group of figurines included
patriotic/medical/firefighter/police and emergency support personnel
themes. Firefighter was re-leased in 2012 in the “Innocent Reflections”
series, a series of white ceramic figurines on which a coating of 21-karat
gold was painted on certain details. The gold highlights featured on this
figurine are the helmet, hose nozzle and handle on the. Firefighter is
