About Dallas Firefighter's Museum

The museum collects and displays the history of the Dallas Fire Department, including vintage apparatus, historic equipment, and original uniforms and helmets. Its tours are led by firefighters, active and retired, who share the department's legacy with visitors. Exhibits include an 1884 steam engine and 1920s fire engines. The museum also honors firefighters who died in the line of duty and runs fire prevention and life safety education, especially for children. Visitors can try on children's firefighting clothing, and the museum hosts school groups, birthday parties, and summer camps.
