The Alex Vega Key West Firehouse Museum

The Alex Vega Key West Firehouse Museum Key West's hottest historic attraction! Tours, exhibits, event space, retired firefighters on duty.

The Key West Firehouse Museum located on the corner of Grinnell and Virginia St. is home to many displays pertaining to the history of firefighting in the Florida Keys. Highlights include a 1929 American LaFrance Fire Truck, one of the only indoor coal pits known to exist in the United States, an operational fire alarm system with neighborhood boxes and ticker tape machine dated back to the early 1900's, and a piece of steel from the North Tower of the World Trade Center presented to the museum on the 10th anniversary of that tragic event by members of the FDNY.

A family connection to Station No. 3! 🚒

Eddie Trujillo and his family joined Captain Alex Vega at the Key West Firehouse Museum. Eddie’s grandfather, Antonio Trujillo, served right here at Station No. 3.

Visits like this bring our firehouse history full circle. Thank you, Eddie and family, for helping keep Antonio’s legacy alive!

Before you try this at home… don’t. 😂🔥 Captain Alex Vega demonstrates a piece of old-school firefighting equipment at the Key West Firehouse Museum. The tools tell one story. The firefighters who used them tell it best.

Stop by for a little history and a lot of Key West character.
