About NYC Fire Museum
The NYC Fire Museum dates back to 1870. Since then it has changed its location several times to finally settle down in 1987 in the impressive former quarter of Engine Company No.30, a Beaux-Arts firehouse on Spring Street. This striking building gives the museum a chance to fully present its extensive collection of fire and fire-fighting memorabilia.
- Size: the museum has two floors of exhibit space; the first floor features equipment of the paid-era fire department and a permanent September 11th memorial, while the second floor features the 19th-century volunteer-era memorabilia and paintings.
- Permanent Mainstay: one of the permanent exhibits features fire engines from different periods.
- Don't Miss: "Old 93" American-LaFrance Tractor-Steamer, which illustrates the transition from horse-drawn to motorized apparatus.
- Pro Tip: guests can check out the museum's elevator, dressed up like a fire truck!
