Visit Texas' Largest Fire Hydrant and an expansive collection of vintage firefighting equipment, engines, and memorabilia. Discover the history of the fire service and the development of the fire engine as you move through the exhibits. Included in the collections are a 1856 hand-drawn tub pumper, a 1909 Aerial Ladder truck, and the county's first searchlight truck, and a Gamewell Call Box Alarm System used before there were telephones. Upstairs, see the international collection, the firefighter's dormitory, the original brass pole, practice fire drills in the child size house and learn fire safety in the hands-on Children's Activity Center.
