Old historic view of the fort Lauderdale fire dept. The firehouse building is a historical site. The place is also certified haunted. I worked there before and I can tell you some freaky stories.

A small and unique museum that runs off donations tucked away in the heart of Fortlauderdale. I first discovered this museum a while back when my child was invited to a birthday party. ( yes you can book a party here). One of Fort Lauderdale's original fire houses turned into a museum. You really get a fell for what it would have been like to be a fire fighter in the 1920's. As most of the building is original. But their are plenty of other things to enjoy such as the history of the progression in fighting fighters. As well as old gear and antiques in fire safety. The kids will have a fun time as their are a few activities and games for them as well. The best part is you will leave with a vast knowledge of fire safety and what it's like to put your life on the line for others. Well worth the trip.

CLOSED DOWN!!! We arrived in the pouring rain and stood outside for 30 minutes waiting for them to open, as indicated by their opening hours at 9am on Saturday. No one there and phone number disconnected. Don't waste your time trying to go there as the website says they are still open, but they are not.

My uncle just retired fire captain for boca ration ,. I found it interesting. As a history fan of Florida . ( I grew up here ,I’m 50 years old and it’s interesting to see . I think they should have more historical districts. And photos the fire trucks where very interesting.

So fun. Take your kids to learn about history and fire safety

just came from a birthday party there and it was amazing! so fun to learn about fire fighters and all they do. the trucks were amazing and we had a great time

Disappointed. Second attempted visit, no staff, everything locked up. To be fair, it is a wonderful memorial to Fort Lauderdale's former firefighters. But as a museum ... forget it.

Update: The museum got new doors and they look amazing. Hours posted on the door are 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM, the last Saturday of the month. From learning about the architect Francis Abreu to history of Fort Lauderdale and the Fire-Rescue Department, this museum offers a lot! It is a non-profit completely run by volunteers and operates only on donations. My highlight was the stories told by retired firefighters Wally and Mike who worked there while it was in operation!! Did I mention it is "certified haunted"?

Great place to visit and learn a bit about firefighter history. Etc.

We were just there - 10:30am on Saturday when they are supposed to be open. Door was locked, phone number listed not working. So disappointed, my son was looking forward to it.

Beautiful ceremony to honor all the fallen firefighters.

Really cool historical place

Not in business. Phone disconnected. Waste of a trip.

Awesomely preserved space to commemorate the heroes...Beautiful ceremony today. #HomesForHeroes
