Tampa Firefighters Museum, Tampa

Great little museum. We got a personal tour just for the four people in our party and the guide (I forgot his name, sorry!) was already waiting for his guests from afar. He went above and beyond, told lots of stories from the fire stations history and also compared the US fire stations with German ones we know from home. Make a reservation in advance. A donation is definitely in order! The shirts in the little gift shop are really not expensive!

Excellent museum set up of what was originally Station 1 built in the early 20th century. They have various memorabilia of Tampa Fire Department history including a couple antique Fire Engines and the preserved watch room. There's also a play Fire truck and gear for the kids to dress up and have some fun. Also, check out the Museum store for unique Tampa Fire apparel!
