Interesting tour. Great place for families with young children

Interesting display of old and new fire trucks. Great lessons on fire safety and a neat little play area for the young kids, including pretend fire trucks. Great little outing for a couple of hours and admission is very affordable

Odd but interesting collection

They have an odd but very interesting collection of fire fighting vehicles and implements. Also have some decent video presentations and historical archives. Of extreme interest to fire fighters, and educational for others. Family friendly.
