Of Heroes and Children:- When asked what they want to be when they grow up, the younger children always seem to have the same answers, astronauts and firemen.

Throughout the museum they will see hundreds of old pictures, antique fire fighters equipment and other artifacts from old times fire departments.

Games and Videos:- There are even fire fighting video games that your children can play that serve two purposes. First, they are simply a lot of fun for the kids. Secondly, they teach the children how to react to dangerous situations, such as if your house were to catch fire. It teaches them how to get out fast and safely. There are informative videos also, but presented in a way that makes them fun instead of seeming like a boring learning experience.
