A small and unique museum that runs off donations tucked away in the heart of Fortlauderdale. I first discovered this museum a while back when my child was invited to a birthday party. ( yes you can book a party here).One of Fort Lauderdales original fire houses turned into a museum. You really get a fell for what it would have been like to be a fire fighter in the 1920s. As most of the building is original. But their are plenty of other things to enjoy such as the history of the progression in fighting fighters. As well as old gear and antiques in fire safety. The kids will have a fun time as their are a few activities and games for them as well. The best part is you will leave with a vast knowledge of fire safety and what its like to put your life on the line for others.Well worth the trip.

Really cool historical place

Disappointed. Second attempted visit, no staff, everything locked up. To be fair, it is a wonderful memorial to Fort Lauderdales former firefighters. But as a museum ... forget it.

Not in business. Phone disconnected. Waste of a trip.

Beautiful ceremony to honor all the fallen firefighters.

CLOSED DOWN!!! We arrived in the pouring rain and stood outside for 30 minutes waiting for them to open, as indicated by their opening hours at 9am on Saturday. No one there and phone number disconnected. Dont waste your time trying to go there as the website says they are still open, but they are not.

Very nice place for kits.

Just came from a birthday party there and it was amazing! so fun to learn about fire fighters and all they do. the trucks were amazing and we had a great time

From learning about the architect Francis Abreu to history of Fort Lauderdale and the Fire-Rescue Department, this museum offers a lot! It is a non-profit run by volunteers. Although free to operates on donations. My highlight was the stories told by a firefighter who worked there while it was in operation!! Did I mention it is certified haunted?

Old historic view of the fort Lauderdale fire dept. The firehouse building is a historical site. The place is also certified haunted. I worked there before and I can tell you some freaky stories.

Great place to visit and learn... Great for Kids
