The Fire Museum of Texas is housed in the 1927 Central Fire Station Headquarters. The mission of the museum is to educate the public about fire safety and the history of the fire service. In addition to guided tours the museum also offers a fire safety summer camp program, fire safety birthday parties, and a unique 3 day fire safety event for 2,000 school children in Ocotober in cooperation with Dupont. We are also working on our 5th annual Flamin' Hot Car Show, which is one of our main fundraisers. We are currently working on a fundraising project to create a firefighter memorial plaza with our 24 ft. fire hydrant as the centerpiece. As of right now the fundraising phase should be completed by December with the entire project scheduled for completion by June of 2002 which is when we will be hosting the State Fireman & Fire Marshal Association's annual convention which attracts over 1500 people. (Perfect timing for a grand opening for the plaza)

The Fire Museum of Texas has been open to the public since 1984 and attracts between 15,000 - 20,000 visitors annually. Since its opening the museum has worked to expand its collection and created a fire safety activity center for children which is a hands-on, interactive exhibit that teaches children all about fire safety. It also includes a child-sized 2 story fire safety house for practice fire drills. The museum is endorsed by the State Firemen & Fire Marshals' Association as the official state fire museum of texas.
