The Key West Firehouse Museum located on the corner of Grinnell and Virginia St. is home to many displays pertaining to the history of firefighting in the Florida Keys. Highlights include a 1929 American LaFrance Fire Truck, one of the only indoor coal pits known to exist in the United States, an operational fire alarm system with neighborhood boxes and ticker tape machine dated back to the early 1900's, and a piece of steel from the North Tower of the World Trade Center presented to the museum on the 10th anniversary of that tragic event by members of the FDNY.Plan to visit Key West Firehouse Museum and other customer-reviewed, writer-recommended Key West attractions using our Key West online trip itinerary planner.

Alex & Rich are absolutely amazing people! They explained so much about the Keywest Fire history. I highly recommend this location on your stop. It will make you appreciate what our great grandparents did for thy neighbors. Back then It was a team effort for the residents to take care of each other. We left there completely happy !!! Please make a donation if you can..
