The Hall of Flame Museum of Firefighting reminds you all that Fire Prevention Week is October 4th through the 10th.

Here at The Museum we are participating in the new campaign from the National Fire Protection Association, (NFPA).....

Charge Into Fire Safety- Safe Charging Is A Superpower

This campaign focuses on safe charging practices for all your portable devices, cordless tools and appliances, as well as computers and e-bikes, just to mention a few.

Lithium-ion battery fires grow fast and burn intensely, which makes them hard to put out. Since most people have use of these devices, this campaign is designed to bring better awareness to this emerging risk.

We will be handing out information to help educate our patrons and we'll also have Sparky the fire dog here during the week to greet our guided tours, as well as surprise visits throughout the museum.

C'mon by the Hall of Flame Museum of Firefighting, the world's largest museum dedicated to the fire service.

This week the Hall of Flame Museum of Firefighting had the pleasure to participate in a bus tour of Dysart Unified School District! After a student-made breakfast accompanied by serene music from a string ensemble (not enough days begin that way) we were taken to an elementary school, Asante Preparatory Academy, a middle school, Cimarron Springs, and a high school, Willow Canyon. Along the way we heard bands and choruses and observed classroom practices; we even saw high schoolers learning how to do medical procedures like blood draws! Wonderful hospitality! Now we hope Dysart students and educators will come and learn about the fire service here at the Hall of Flame!

The Hall of Flame Museum of Firefighting and Executive Director Chuck Montgomery congratulate James Winters of the FDNY!

Captain James Winters will become a Battalion Chief on Thursday when he is promoted: From running engine operations to assuming incident command, FDNY Captain James Winters reflects on a career shaped by leadership, mentorship and service.

As he prepares for promotion to Battalion Chief, Winters looks back on the officers who taught him how to lead, including his father, Lieutenant James Winters of Engine 278, and his brother-in-law, Firefighter Carl Molinaro of Ladder 2, one of seven members of the company who made the Supreme Sacrifice on September 11th.

Winters carries their example with him. He understands that leadership means more than ensuring operational success and the safety of the membership. It also means giving others someone to look up to and aspire to become.

On Thursday, Captain Winters will trade in his double-bar collar brass for gold oak leaves—closing one chapter with pride and beginning the next.

1928 Seagrave City Service Ladder Truck

This beautiful truck was originally owned by the Urbana Fire Department in Illinois. In 1950, it was purchased by the Town of Downers Grove, which had it service for many years.

This truck was staffed with a minimum of 4 firefighters, and sometimes up to 12. This truck carries numerous ground ladders, rescue equipment, and salvage gear.

Also, her sister engine is on display right next to her.

Come by The Hall of Flame Museum of Firefighting and see these two rigs, which are currently on display in Gallery 2.

On September 26th, it will be a year since the first of two huge monsoon storms dealt heavy blows to the Hall of Flame Museum of Firefighting.

These storms caused significant flooding, which damaged the buildings, galleries, and portions of the gift shop.

The damage was extensive, affecting drywall, displays, carpets, ceilings, and outside areas of the museum.

We are the world's largest museum dedicated to the preservation of fire apparatus and the history of firefighting, with pieces spanning three centuries, starting from 1725.
