Review:
This Renaissance revival style museum is actually an authentic former fire station and Texas Historic Landmark. The Fire Museum of Texas is easily recognizable by a giant fire hydrant, painted in a Dalmatian black and white design, which sits out front. It is billed as the world’s largest working fire hydrant. Inside the museum, visitors will be delighted by an array of 19th and early 20th century firefighting equipment, like a 1901 hand-cranked aerial ladder and an 1856 hand-drawn tub pumper. Besides the collections, the curious can learn how Texas fire disasters set the stage for how fires are fought today. There is a fascinating Fire Departments of the World exhibit that is also a must-see.
