We took a field trip to the Milwaukee fire department historical society museum! The Milwaukee Fire Department Historical Society Museum (housed in former Engine Company No. 3) is a fascinating piece of Milwaukee's firefighting history.

The museum houses an impressive collection of vintage firefighting apparatus, including several restored fire engines that showcase the evolution of firefighting technology in Milwaukee. The centerpiece is often considered to be their collection of early motorized fire engines, which represents the crucial transition period from horse-drawn to motorized equipment.

Join us as we talk to some of the members who keep this place running and learn a little history about our great city.
