This is wonderful, as a firefighter this museum acts as a window to the past. Every piece is original. There are no replicas. The staff was wonderful, they offered many stories and back grounds to all the pieces they have. I read other reviews about the staff being rude, I did not find it to be that way. I loved every minute of the museum experience. The history comes alive right before your eyes, all of their pieces are in excellent condition. I HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone remotely interested in fire.
