Midtown Fountains
Many of Kansas City’s Midtown fountains are tributes in remembrance of those who worked tirelessly to better their community, those who vowed to protect their community, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Located at West 31st and Broadway stands the larger-than-life bronze Firefighters Fountain and Memorial. Spurred by the tragic death of six Kansas City Fire Department firefighters in 1988, this memorial pays tribute to the City’s men and women firefighters and memorializing those who gave their lives in the line of duty.
