A nice museum. Well maintained. The parking situation along Massachusetts avenue is difficult. I couldnt get the parking kiosk to work and was going to park there anyway. The museum office manager warned me to not do that and allowed me to park in the lot which was reserved for the fire department.

Teachers were excellent. Showed fire safety, made it interesting for the kids, storm safety, and kitchen safety. All the teachers were very animated to keep the kids interest.

This is a great opportunity for others to see history. My cousin and I enjoyed our time in the time spent at the museum. We recently attended the Reading of the Names -85th Year on October 2nd, 2019. I would recommend if you have time to stop by for a visit. Lots of items to take a look at. Please take your time to enjoy the history here.

Built in 1872 and still standing?? It has two Stutzs that were built right here in Indianapolis.

This is such a great place to learn about not only about fire services history but also about Indianapolis history. As an EMT it is humbling to see how all of the firefighters are honored.

C.A.F.E. Had a funraiser in the event hall and this is my second year attending and also the second year for the event. Community Action for the Far Eastside. Is a place for residents to recieve help. These needs are met in many areas. Funds to help residents. Are low and I maybe preaching to the choir, but I know they have people in the City of Indianapolis. Who are able to help others. Funding is being cut and we have more people living in the street. Why does that seam okay? We all know and I know that helping means I will get burned by someone who is a user. Yes I sure have but I do not stop helping. Good people fall sometimes and those are the ones. That we all need to be there for. Michael Howe is the CEO and a great guy. Please donate to a good cause. It is appreciated.

The museum is a trove of information and the lovely retired firefighter who was gracious enough to give us a tour was knowledgeable as well as a great story teller. I have unfortunately forgotten his name, but I am so grateful for the experience.

This is a small but quality fire fighting museum. Many different aspects from trucks, hoses, pumps, nozzles, pictures, badges and toys. It is also an Indy museum as all memorabilia is from Indy stations.

The newly renovated IFD Museum is a really cool place to visit. TONS of fire fighting history stuff (i.e. equipment, rigs, photos, displays, etc) in a 100+ year old firestation! The antique fire truck is really something to see as well. Great place to spend an afternoon. Appropriate for all ages. The Fallen Firefighter Memorial is next door and neat to visit as well.
