Welcome Wagon

A wagon, a bench, a cart to drive back and forth in its track, Welcome Wagon sits in front of Fire Station #3 in Palo Alto. Images of firefighting equipment are etched into the side of stainless chassis, but the real imagery is the open hands. They are at once supporting, caring, accepting, helping, welcoming hands. The perfect emblem for the community role of the fire fighters within.
The cart is locked into a 12' long track that lets it travel back and forth. It has a crank at one end to allow you to move it. This peice is a cousin to my Wagon in Memphis
