Boston Sparks Association, A-10 Rehab-Canteen & Boston Fire Museum
Welcome to the Boston Fire Museum
We have recently undergone a complete renovation of our museum floor and exhibits. Our vast collection of artifacts, equipment, documents and apparatus naturally tells the story of the development of firefighting technology within the Great Boston area. We are also excited to have designed a children’s area where our young visitors can get involved and be a part of the Boston firefighting history.
While our exhibits continue to come to life please continue to check back to our website frequently for more information and visual displays on all the history that goes with first paid fire department in the United States.
The museum is designed to offer visitors of all ages an opportunity to relive an exciting era in the history of the fire service with the Greater Boston area.
New in 1892
The now Boston Fire Museum was built in 1892, which is the second oldest existing firehouse in Boston, MA. The location at 344 Congress street has been home to several engine and ladder companies over the years. During its active service years with the Boston Fire Department it was home to hand and horse drawn fire apparatus with gas and diesel powered fire apparatus.
