A firefighter moves from left to right while holding a child. The figures are painted linearly, almost drawn, so the feeling is given that they are engulfed in flames. The viewer is witness to the environment surrounding the figures. Light blue acts as glass on a tower facade and a shard on the ground. Two large hands form behind and through the figure, combined with biblical text they signify hope for safety and the grace of selfless acts. It is expressionistically painted to convey raw emotion.
