Historic firefighting equipment & the story of the local force in a compact history museum.

History

Education

Young children, the handicapped, and the elderly are particularly vulnerable to fire. The Fire Museum “Safety House” illustrates:

• “Stop, Drop and Roll” techniques
• The importance of a smoke detector
• How to plan an escape route
• When to call “911”
• Exactly what to do if you are caught in a fire.

Call to Duty

Many years ago Mansfield firemen were called to duty by a large bell in the firehouse tower. Originally they were Volunteers and had to be summoned from their homes. This large bell could be heard from all over town.
In October of 1993 the Bell was moved to the Museum.
