THE CINCINNATI FIRE MUSEUM
In 1853, the first paid professional fire department in the United States was founded in Cincinnati. It changed American fire fighting forever, by creating the fire departments we all know and count on today!
The Cincinnati Fire Museum celebrates our city’s proud history, pays tribute to the firefighters who protect us, and teaches important fire safety and prevention lessons.
Housed in an historic 1906 fire house, the Cincinnati Fire Museum is fun and educational for both kids and adults!
