On the front and back of the memorial monument, there are relief plaques depicting the faces and biographies of the nine fallen firefighters, as well as a touch screen monitor with photos and videos of firefighting activities, allowing visitors to offer flowers and incense.

Mayor Kim Doo-gyeom said, "I hope the noble spirit of sacrifice of firefighters will always be remembered, and we have established this memorial space here," adding, "We will create a safer Ulsan so that the sacrifices of those who died in the line of duty will not be in vain."
