Description

Wikipedia 1/2012:
The New York City Fire Museum is a museum dedicated to the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) in the Hudson Square neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City.

The museum cares for over 10,000 artifacts celebrating the history of firefighting and the New York City Fire Department. Examples of modern day firefighting equipment are also on permanent display at the museum as well as a permanent memorial to the 343 members of New York City Fire Department / Emergency Medical Services lost at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.

Permanent exhibitions

The New York City Fire Museum tells the story of the early days of firefighting in New York City. The collection is home to firefighting artifacts and equipment dating back to the 1650s, such as
carriages,
engines,
fire marks,
buckets,
trumpets,
helmets,
lanterns,
rattles,
and uniforms.
Permanent exhibitions include:
Firefighting on Parade,
Romance of Firefighting,
Fire Apparatus,
and Tools
and Uniforms.
The museum also has an extensive collection of fire insurance marks.

Fire safety education

In conjunction with the FDNY Fire Safety Education Unit and the FDNY Foundation, a structured program for school groups is offered. Groups are shown an age-targeted video in a classroom setting and are then taken to a mock residence where they experience what they must do to escape from a smoke-filled room. In 2018, the mock residence was completely renovated into the Fire Safety Learning Center. Now equipped with interactive components, the center will be open to families and can be visited without the need for an escorted guide.
