The Alley of Glory of Chornobyl Firefighters includes seven busts of firefighters - Heroes of Ukraine and the Soviet Union - and eight memorial plates to perpetuate the memory of firefighters who liquidated the Chornobyl disaster.
The memorial alley has five granite steles with the names of the district residents who died as a result of the Chornobyl disaster. The vertical title stele has a dedication engraved on its front side, and below it is a list of the deceased, which continues on the four other semi-horizontal steles installed in succession. On the reverse side of the title stele, the upper part depicts the sarcophagus of the fourth power unit of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, to which a path with candles of remembrance leads; the contours of a burnt pine tree on the left resemble a cross; below are engraved poetic lines, below which are two roses.
