The Hall of Flame Museum of Firefighting has almost an acre of fire history exhibits, with over 90 fully restored pieces of fire apparatus on display, dating from 1725 to 1969.

More than 10% of the visitors to the museum are firefighters, and many of the rest of the visitors are children in group tours. Most visitors to the Hall of Flame Museum of Firefighting take more than an hour to tour the galleries, and it is not unusual for visitors with a special interest in firefighting to spend several hours in the galleries.
