The National Historical Fire Foundation (Hall of Flame Fire Museum) is a museum dedicated to the historical preservation of fire fighting equipment used through the years around the world.
The museum opened in 1961 and now contains one of the largest collections of retired fire apparatus around. They have five exhibit bays and the National Firefighting Hall of Heroes gallery. The equipment is grouped as: Hand & Horse Drawn with equipment from 1725 to 1908; Motorized Apparatus covering 1897 to 1948; Motorized Apparatus showing units from 1918 to 1968; the last areas are Motorized Apparatus from 1919 to 1950) and Wildland Firefighting.
They also have one of the worlds largest collection of Fire Department arm patches.
In addition to exhibits that bring Arizona's firefighting history to life, don't miss the presentations about fire safety. The staff and volunteers who give these talks are so animated that the kids become mesmerized and don't even realize they're learning valuable life lessons.
Children will enjoy the ninety fully restored fire trucks and other pieces of fire apparatus on display, dating back from 1725. They can play out their fireman fantasies and gain an appreciation for how heavy and hot this gear really is, by dressing up in real fire fighter gear. And they can learn valuable safety lessons in the large hands-on exhibit area.
The Hall of Flame Fire Museum is one of the least expensive museums in the larger Phoenix Metro area.
They are located in Phoenix, Arizona at 6101 East Van Buren St across from the Phoenix Zoo and next door to the Phoenix Municipal Stadium. For more information please call (602) 275-3473.
