Why go

The collection concentrates on the tools of emergency response and how firefighting work changed over time. It is a specialist stop for visitors interested in civic services or mechanical equipment. Do not plan around seeing the old engines: the museum's own description says they are not part of the normal display, which is useful to know before making the trip.

What to look for

  • Historic fire pumps.
  • Rescue and firefighting equipment.

Useful to know

  • Confirm the limited public opening before travel; old engines are not normally on display.
