From horse-drawn steam pumps dating to 1884 to modern motor-powered equipment, this museum's holdings present a fascinating glimpse into history. The museum houses valuable firefighting equipment and chronicles the history of battling blazes. The facility is also located in a 1907 fire station, which adds a nice note of authenticity. Spend part of a pleasant afternoon observing the displays, and don't forget to check out the souvenir merchandise available. It is located near Fair Park, and visitors can do self-guided tours throughout it. On most days, visitors will be greeted by retired firefighters who are always friendly and very helpful.
