Review & FAQ:

The Fort Wayne Firefighters' Museum was once the city’s largest firehouse. It started with two bays for six men, four horses, a hose wagon, and a chemical wagon, what was then Engine House #3, and then more than doubled in size to meet the growth of the city’s business district. In 1972, a new modern central fire station was built, and Engine House #3 was retired.

Two years later, the Fort Wayne Firefighters’ Museum was organized; visitors are invited to the old firehouse to understand and enjoy Fort Wayne, its fire-fighting history, and the men and women who all played a role in the past and present. The Fort Wayne Fire Department has used almost all of the artifacts, and many were donations made by firefighters or their families. Along with the many artifacts on display, the museum also teaches fire safety.
