The Canadian Firefighters Museum opened its doors in 1984. Since then the Museum has evolved into a national center for documentation, preservation, education and celebration of Canadian firefighting heritage and safety awareness. The Museum houses a collection of artifacts that tell the story of the vital role that Firefighters have played in the lives of communities across Canada. The Museum strives to represent all Canadian firefighters- professional or volunteer, industrial, military, wild land, or airport. The apparatus collection focuses on three eras : Hand Drawn and Hand Powered (1754-1902), Horse Drawn (1850-1938), and Motorized (1907 to present day.
You'll see equipment of every kind, from all eras and all parts of Canada- antique fire helmets, an amazing array of fire hydrants, fire related signage, safety equipment, toys and of course our vintage fire trucks.
