New and Noteworthy Exhibit: More Than Just Firefighters
At the Museum of Fire, we receive a diverse range of fascinating donations. These donations showcase not only the equipment used to fight fires, but also extend into objects related to charity work, competition and sporting events, and inspiring the next generation of firefighters. The objects on display for our latest iteration of our New and Noteworthy exhibit have been donated to us over the past year and truly showcase the other aspects of being part of the fire service.
