The Dallas
Firefighters Museum is located in the 1907 Old No. 5 Hook and Ladder
Company Station. It boasts a fantastic collection of old fi retrucks
including 'Old Tige,' a 1884 horse-drawn steam pumper named after
then mayor W.L. Cabell
and a 1936 ladder truck. Children can indulge their
fascination with firefighters by climbing on a hook and ladder truck
as well as viewing over 100 years of firefighting history thru a
collection of extinguishers, helmets, suits, uniforms, etc.
Sometimes you can hear present day's Dallas Fire Department's
dispatchers.

The museum is
staffed Wednesday through Saturday from 9-4 by retired firefighters who are always happy
to show to individuals and groups and to give a lesson in fire saftey to the many groups of children who regularly visit.
A gift shop is located on the premises for souveneirs, t-shirts,
etc. The slide show at the left features a few of the many
pictures on display at the museum. |
The Dallas Firefighter's Museum is affiliated
with the Texas Fire Museum and the North Texas Historical Fire
Society. All three of these are non-profit organizations that do not
discriminate according to race, creed, color, sex, age or national
origin.
