Dallas Firefighters Museum

Though we dread fire, we often forget the unsung heroes who save the lives of victims of fire. Dallas Firefighters Museum pays homage to such men and their equipment.

The Dallas Firefighters Museum is located in one of the city's oldest remaining fire stations. This quaint station was built way back in 1903, and housed Hook and Ladder Company No. 3.

The museum hosts a priceless collection of fire fighting apparatus including “Old Tige”, an 1884 horse- drawn steam pumper named after then mayor W.L. Cabell. Other apparatus include some of the first motorized engines that were used by the Dallas Fire Department.

The history of fire fighting is recaptured in this museum. It not only showcases but also narrates the story of battling with fire.

The museum is manned by former retired fire fighters who nostalgically recall old times, when they were in the thick of fire fighting. Children can have a whale of a time playing with “fire”, by climbing up a hook and ladder truck.

Hours: Wednesday - Saturday 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Admission: .00 adults - - - - .00 children.
