Firefighters’ Museum

Story

You don't have to be a firefighter to appreciate the Firefighters' Museum of Nova Scotia in Yarmouth. Antique auto enthusiasts especially enjoy the important collection of vintage equipment: the pumpers, hose wagons, and ladder trucks--not to mention the 1863 Amoskeag Steamer, one of the oldest surviving steamers in Canada. The museum chronicles the fascinating history of firefighting in the province through photographs, recollections, and thousands of artifacts.
A favourite exhibit with the kids is the 1935 Chev. Bickle Pumper. The funny name is appealing in itself, but the chance to actually take the wheel is the real draw(description taken from the museum website).

What a lovely museum dedicated to firefighting in NS. It's a self-guided tour but the staff were super friendly and told us to ask if we had any questions. Some very interesting olf fire engines and equipment on display, and some fascinating archives of previous local major events the fire service attended.
I hadn't been here since a class trip over 25 years ago. I watched a you tube video about the circus ship that caught on fire at the Yarmouth wharf and it refueled my desire to go. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and the trucks were just mind blowing.
The museum offers a large, rare collection of firefighting memorabilia. You can see nearly every type of fire engine ever used in Nova Scotia, as well as patches and badges from fire services from around the world.
Wow what can I say about this large museum, but fantastic. They have so many artifacts that are well persevered and kept to their natural state as if they were brand new. Small fee Five Canadian with what they have should be chartered more shhhhhh. Staff are super friendly and courteous and helpful.
If you have anything to do with the fire service this is the place to go to learn the history and heritage of it. See the displays. Multiple trucks and helmets. Collection of patches from visitors. Displays of the equipment from the past right up to the current. Make sure you take lots of time to see everything properly.
