What is recorded here

Fireman John Kite is a memorial in County Dublin, Ireland. Perhaps he dropped beside this spot while pulling a cart or chasing a flame, his body failing before his hands let go of the rope. Maybe the stone exists because someone refused to lose him inside the large city, marking the exact place where duty took his life. Imagine the red brick and wet grass around that point, still warm from the day he stopped breathing.
