Fire Museum

The Connecticut Fire Museum, located at the Connecticut Trolley Museum, is dedicated to the preservation and appreciation of antique fire apparatus and associated equipment. A non-profit and historical association, Connecticut Antique Fire Apparatus Association, Inc., the parent organization of the Connecticut Fire Museum, was organized in 1968 and later incorporated in 1971. The Fire Museum opened to the public in 1975.

The Connecticut Fire Museum is open during the same hours as the Connecticut Trolley Museum and admission is included with your trolley museum tickets.
