Burnsville Fire Department

Paul LaJeunesse’s 2022 mural at Burnsville Fire Department Station 1, commissioned as part of the city’s placemaking initiative, embodies the deep connection between first responders and the community they serve. Through layered imagery, the mural juxtaposes firefighters and paramedics with residents, symbolizing trust, education, and inclusivity. LaJeunesse’s approach emphasizes dynamic human interactions, avoiding depictions of emergencies to focus on uplifting community relationships.
