What travelers say:

Located in a fire museum facing the street in Elfreth's Alley, in the historic old city of Philadelphia, the building where the museum is located is also very classical and has the characteristics of the times. The exhibition hall is located in a renovated 1898 fire station. Here you can see all kinds of fire fighting vehicle equipment and equipment. Follow the content of the exhibition hall to go back to the development of the United States fire fighting history in 1731. I like the retro fire fighting vehicle exhibition here. See them display together in front of you. Still very shocking, the painted glass window on the second floor, the sun through the glass starry, the atmosphere is instantly full. I have been to the Fire Museum in Boston, and I have to feel that this theme pavilion in Philadelphia is really big. In an old-fashioned building, there are two floors of the exhibition hall. I know that Philadelphia is also the birthplace of the first volunteer fire brigade. In 1736, Benjamin Franklin founded the first volunteer fire company here. Here you can also see the leather bucket, 18th century local residents, will put the bucket with the Schulkill river water in the front door, in case of fire, and comic-style disaster prevention small knowledge wall sharing, you can visit a niche museum that will not get tired for a long time
