I Donated my 1972 Crown Firecoach pumper yesterday to the Museum. It is ex Orange City Ca Engine 1. I dedicated this to my Father, OFD Fire Captain Dewey Barron More

Being a Firefighter for most of my life this was a must see for me. The history goes back to the 1700,s with some of the old hand pumpers or "hand tubs" as they are often called.

I loved this place! Very good way to spend a rainy sunday! The staff is very knowledgeable about the equipment. It's only $6 to get in and kids and seniors are less.

Astounding collection of firefighting gear, trucks, ladders, equipment and historical information. Perhaps the best firefighting museum in the world. The resptoration are nothing short of masterpieces. Includes firefighting implements back to the 17th century. If you have any interest in the subject, this place is a must see. More

This place is an amazing collection of masterfully re-done fire equipment, apparatus and artifacts of the fire industry in the US and throughout the world. The front desk fella is condescending and gruff as hell, but if you make it past him, the rest of the attractions are SO worth it. More

A great amount of Firefighting equipment, emphasizing the progression of pumpers and vehicles from the past to the present. Greatly restored historical vehicles and lots of historical documentation. Almost all of the equipment is in great condition. Nice to see international firefighting items such as helmets and other pieces. Both adults and kids would enjoy. More

Who would have thought there've been so many beautiful fire engines. A great place for five year old firemen or fifty year old auto buffs. The mundane exterior belies the treasures inside. More

I really enjoyed our visit here. I had to be pull out to go but turn out I really did have a great time, much to see. More

Lots of exhibits and data to take in...maybe too much for younger children. For those of us who were "firemen wannabes" this was a most exciting and interestng venue. Go early so you can spend the day. More
