The New York City Fire Museum houses one of the nation's most prominent collections of fire related art and artifacts from the late 18th Century to the present. Among its holdings are painted leather buckets, helmets, parade hats and belts, lanterns and tools, volunteer-era hand pumped fire engines, horse drawn vehicles and early motorized apparatus.
The Museum maintains a permanent memorial to the 343 members of the FDNY who made
the Supreme Sacrifice on September 11, 2001 and an accompanying exhibit
of FDNY artifacts recovered from the Ground Zero site.
FDNY Chaplain Father Mychal Judge's Helmet and Bunker Coat are now part of this permanent memorial and available for viewing.
The
Museum, in conjunction with the FDNY, operates a world-class fire
safety education program designed to teach participants how to prevent
fires within the home and importantly, how to protect themselves and
escape should one occur.More on Fire Safety Education
