I’ve been a fan of fire engines and equipment alike since I was a child, so stumbling upon this specialty museum was a real treat, taking me back to my childhood. The collection of fire trucks and other vehicles is fantastic. The equipment and uniforms throughout the decades is wonderful to see - you can even try on some firefighter clothing! The basement houses an extensive collection of rescue equipment (fire extinguishers, pumpers, etc.) and uniforms (paramedic, smoke jumpers, water rescue, mountain rescue, helicopter rescue, etc.). Other exhibits include detailed dioramas, photos of extraordinary fires in Zaragoza, badges, hats and paraphernalia from around the world and more. The staff are absolutely welcoming, informative and engaging - all current or former members of the fire department. I was their last visitor in mid-March just prior to their closing due to the coronavirus pandemic. I hope they will safely reopen in the not-too-distant future so they can continue to welcome fire fighting fans from around the world.

We visited whilst in the city to have a break from the historic monuments around. We were pleasantly surprised. We were first met by a retired fireman who took us to a cinema room and showed us some videos of firefighters in Aragon (in Spanish however they are easy to interpret) we could then roam free around the numerous vehicles and artefacts in the museum with plenty of photo opportunities. 90 minutes well spent and well worth the 10 euros for 5 of us.

I really liked how friendly the firemen(?) were at the entrance. We had a great time here, because the museum is very interacting. You can sit in the firetrucks and you can put on the firemen's uniform. So if you have children, or you have an inner child, I would definitely recommend it.

Great museum and wonderful people! Even though the museum was closed on the day we tried to check it out, one of the firemen walked us through the museum and gave us a great little private tour. If you are interested in firemen/firetrucks, definitely check it out!

Found out about this museum from a flyer. I think it is run by the city fire department. It had a ramp for wheelchair access round the side from the front door and all parts of the inside are accessible. Closed on Mondays and 3 euros 20 for adults so a reasonable price. Not very busy but a wonderful museum with lots of old fire engines ranging from hand pulled carts to old motorised fire engines. There is also a AV theatre and they will run a short film in Spanish about how fires were tackled in the past in Zaragoza. Very easy to understand.
The building is immaculately clean and is the old fire station but it started out as a religious establishment and then became a school amongst other things so there is a lot of explanation and interpretation. We were thrown out when it closed at 7 p.m. having spent 2 hours there and not realised that time had got the better of us. Staff speak a little English but most of the exhibits have multi lingual explanations or are self explanatory. There are also displays of various types of briefing apparatus and an explanation of the fire "triangle".
I fyou want something a little different to you standard museum or its a rainy day this could be for you.

I was taken here by a friend and honestly didn't have high expectations, but even if you aren't interested in this kind of thing (if you are, you will love every second of this) there is so much to hold you attention.
I found the differences between modern and historical firefighting to be fascinating, The vintage equipment is spectacular, especially the different models of fire engine and the helmets from different countries and different decades. I can imagine many children would love to visit and, one thing to keep in mind - on the first Sunday of every month all public museums in Spain are free!

We visited here on a Monday, not realising that it is closed on a Monday. Fortunately we made it back the next morning at 10. We were the only visitors at the time and received a warm welcome.
We were shown where everything was and given a leaflet /map and then taken by a guide (who spoke a little English) to a theatre to watch a short film, which was very easy to understand.
We then went into the main display area which is full of fire appliances, equipment and displays. The Museum is very modern (and spotlessly clean) but has taken into account the original features of the building which was a convent and part of the display is in the cloisters and the open ceiling exploded light into the area.
On the floor below there a wonderful display of equipment, breathing apparatus over the years, helmets, extinguishers etc along with a breathtaking picture of the risks a fire fighter takes to carry out his role.
In the lobby area there were further displays and near the entrance a display case full of lego and other corgi type models (a young child or even a big child’s heaven). Upstairs there was an area of schools etc.
Overall a great place to visit and excellent value for money @ 3.20 Euros (adult)

Visitors get their own Bomberos to show them around the museum. Can be a challenge when you don't speak much Spanish and the Bomberos only has limited English. Despite this we managed and this personal touch very much made our visit and the pride in this establishment was obvious.

A lovely intreasting museum, with lots of history next to a working fire stn, all housed in a historic building,
The museum is staffed by retired firefighters with a lifetime of knowledge.
There is an english handout if you speak no spanish, but most of the exhibition is visual, the video is very good and its great to see how proud they are of what they do.
Assa serving london firefighter i was made to feel very welcome and they went out there way to translate,
This aside i would recomend a visit as the building is intresting too, its cheap and a nice place to visit.

Great discovery in the centre of Zaragoza! We loved this small museum that explains the history of the city’s fire department. We, a family from Paris, were kindly received by a real, very kind french speaking fireman, that took us to a cinema with a short film on local fire fighting since 1863. After that visitors can see old fire trucks, uniforms and material up close. Our kids simply loved this visit! Vividly recommended!
