Panel #1 is closest to the corner, is made of corrugated aluminum sheeting that is formed in two sections and riveted or welded over a steel core and shows a cut out fireman in profile with an axe over his shoulder.

Panel #2 (middle) is made of weathering steel (such as CorTen®) with a cut out figure of a fireman attached to the east side that is made of one layer of corrugated aluminum sheeting over a cut out backing of a black material such as Plexiglas® sheeting. The fireman, in profile in front of a window, is spraying water on flames protruding from the roof of the house that is also made of weathering steel.

Panel #3 is made of bronze sheeting fastened together with short bronze welds spaced several inches apart, which appears to have been patinated reddish brown or has oxidized naturally. There are cut out figures of a fireman administering CPR to a prostrate victim that are made of cut out bronze sheet and applied to the open work front of the house
