Here's to the firefighters, one and all
Always at your beck and call
Vigilant and unafraid
Volunteer or city paid

Solentific men are these
Fighting fires or a dread disease
Challenging a flaming hell
At the ringing of the bell

Unknown heroes clad in blue
They give up their lives just for you
Pray for them as they go past
As every ride may be their last

Hundreds of photographs of notable fires and Fire Division 
history can be found throughout the museum.

is displayed on the first floor of the museum.

This turn of the century display was made possible through 
the combined efforts of area businesses, local labor 
organizations and the City of Toledo.

Wayne Trail Gasoline Tanker Fire

Under the trained supervision of the Fire Prevention 
Bureau, children are taught how to roll out of bed,
keep low in case of smoke, and feel the door for heat 
with the back of their hand. Families are encouraged 
to plan escape routes from their homes, designate a 
common meeting place, and test smoke 
detectors regularly.

The museum's first display was located in the 
Museum of Science in the Toledo Zoo. 
As the collection grew, it became evident 
that larger facilities were needed. 
"Old Number 18 Fire House" seemed the perfect 
home to display this collection.

"Neptune" built in 1837
