Info
The New York City Fire Museum is located in the former quarters of FDNY Engine Company No. 30, a renovated 1904 fire house at 278 Spring Street between Varick and Hudson Streets in the Hudson Square neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. The museum cares for over 10,000 objects as well as an archive of records, ephemera and photographs estimated in the tens of thousands of pieces celebrating the history of the fire service and the New York City Fire Department. Examples of modern-day firefighting equipment are also on permanent display at the museum as well as a permanent memorial to the 343 members of the FDNY lost at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. In November 2015 the museum was granted an Absolute Charter by the Board of Regents of the New York State Department of Education.
The museum is a charitable organization under IRS Code Section 501(c)(3).
