This is a very informative museum.. we loved all the antique fire trucks and equipment they have on display. The giant fire hydrant is actually from the set of 101 Dalmatians that was donated to the Museum..

Never got to set foot in the place, even though the website clearly stated it was open. When I called, the voicemail just said to leave a message and they would call me back. Upon arrival, a nice employee told us all city buildings were closed. Drove an hour for nothing. Thats government for you.

Facebook page states they will be open again on Monday June 8th. They proceeded to post again that you must wear a mask when visiting and they have closed all interactive exhibits. Showed up only to find it still closed even though their website and Facebook and google said they were open.

We thoroughly enjoyed the museum. It is outdated, and I do wish there was more interactive....maybe a fire dog on site, or the popcorn machine actually working, or fire hats for sale for kids....But it was great, and my kids love coming.

Great FREE place to bring the kids. Downstairs is more of a museum, while the upstairs has more kid-friendly activities. If you are a firefighter bring one of your station patches along, as they do exchange.
