In the museum you can see unique pieces from the world of the Fire Brigade, from the first shoulder-carried fire engines mentioned by the poet Carlo Porta to modern fire engines. All the equipment was actually used by the Milanese fire fighters, being one of the curators and guides of the museum, I notice that the pieces are gradually expanding over the years, as we gradually restore them we add them to the collection, so each time the visit is different. During the visit you will always be accompanied by ANVVF staff (real retired firefighters who will explain the equipment to you and answer your questions.

A one of a kind experience. I visited the museum on the occasion of the barracks open on Santa Barbara Day. Our guide, born in 1941, who contributed to the creation of this museum, accompanied us along the route not only from a strictly notional point of view, indeed, it is as if he had taken us by the hand at the beginning of the history of the civic firefighters of Milan and slowly accompanied to the present day, with our methods and our technologies. Heartfelt congratulations to those who worked and still continue to work to ensure that this piece of history, no less important than many others, is not lost and forgotten. Well done, well done, well done.

(Translated by Google) Inside the museum it is possible to "touch" what the fire brigades have been and continue to be: from work tools to vehicles, from uniforms to communication devices and everything that runs parallel and collateral around this body. From the health assistance service (active until the early 1900s) to the gymnastic body (of which the Milan Sports Group is dedicated to Carlo Galimberti, award-winning firefighter and Olympic winner who lost his life heroically in the performance of duty), up to all body specializations from divers to the SAF or from the airport group to the NBCR. Undoubtedly a historical and cultural immersion in a body so loved as little recognized where the firmness of spirit is equal to that of ancient medieval knights who made honor, courage, loyalty and mercy their fundamental values. So here is that the barracks are transformed into their castle with a self-sufficient village from the shed to the cobbler and the means become their trusted steeds. After all, are not our knights with shimmery guns? Those who, when we are in trouble, are always the first to intervene, to have a word for us or to show us the way to resist? The museum in every object, in every word of its ciceroni and in every detail taken care of to perfection transmits the love that these men have for this body and that the body has towards his men. An experience full of beauty and emotion that tells true who are these men who every day put their lives at risk for others, as the prayer of Santa Barbara says of them: "A day without risk is not lived, because for us believers death is life, it is light: in the terror of collapses, in the fury of the waters, in the hell of the fires. " (Original) All’interno del museo è possibile “toccare con mano” ciò che i Vigili del Fuoco sono stati e continuano ad essere: dagli strumenti di lavoro ai mezzi, dalle divise agli apparecchi di comunicazione e a tutto ciò che in modo parallelo e collaterale gira intorno a questo corpo. Dal servizio di soccorso sanitario (attivo fino ai primi anni del 900) al corpo ginnico (di cui il Gruppo Sportivo di Milano è dedicato a Carlo Galimberti, pompiere pluripremiato e vincitore olimpico che perse la vita eroicamente nell’adempimento del dovere), fino a tutte le specializzazioni del corpo dai sommozzatori al SAF o dal gruppo aeroportuale al NBCR. Indubbiamente un immersione storica e culturale in un corpo tanto amato quanto poco riconosciuto dove la fermezza di spirito è pari a quella di antichi cavalieri medievali che facevano di onore, coraggio, fedeltà e clemenza i loro valori fondamentali. Ed ecco dunque che la caserma si trasforma nel loro castello con tanto di borgo autosufficiente dalla rimessa al ciabattino e i mezzi divengono i loro fidi destrieri. Dopotutto non sono i nostri cavalieri dall’arma scintillate? Quelli che quando siamo in difficoltà sono sempre i primi ad intervenire, ad avere una parola per noi o indicarci la via per resistere? Il museo in ogni suo oggetto, in ogni parola dei suoi ciceroni ed in ogni dettaglio curato alla perfezione trasmette l’amore che questi uomini hanno per questo corpo e che il corpo ha verso i suoi uomini. Un’ esperienza piena di bellezza ed emozione che racconta per vero chi sono questi uomini che ogni giorno mettono a rischio la loro vita per gli altri, così come dice di loro la preghiera di Santa Barbara: “Un giorno senza rischio non è vissuto, poichè per noi credenti la morte è vita, è luce: nel terrore dei crolli, nel furore delle acque, nell’inferno dei roghi.”
