ABOUT THE FIREHALL MUSEUM:
Located in the restored 1898 Town of Galt Fire Hall at City of Cambridge Civic Square, just one block from the Cambridge Farmers’ Market and next door to the Cambridge Centre for the Arts.
This Fire Hall was the community’s primary fire station until it closed in 1979. The building adapted and changed over the years, often to accommodate changes in technology and the growing city – for example, its original arched doors were replaced by a single garage door to make way for bigger fire trucks. Since 2013, the City of Cambridge has restored the exterior and interior of the Fire Hall – including reinstating the two arched vehicle doors facing Dickson Street.
The ground floor has seen many changes since the days when horse-drawn hose reels first occupied this space. It’s now the Museum’s main gallery featuring vintage fire equipment and displays.
The second floor was the firefighters’ living quarters. This space is now the fire safety education centre, including a library and archives, collections storage and a meeting room. A brass fire pole, connecting the two floors and allowing fast response to a fire alarm, has been reinstalled, although its location has changed several times in the life of the building.
