Fire Museum of Texas

The Fire Museum of Texas is located in the former Central Fire Station, a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark built in 1927. The museum houses interactive fire safety exhibits with a collection of antique fire equipment dating back to 1856. It also features a two-story playhouse designed to help children learn fire safety, as well as the world's largest working fire hydrant, which measures 24 feet tall. Permanent exhibits trace the history of firefighting from bucket brigades to present practices, and several antique trucks are on display. The museum is part of a concentration of several museums in the downtown Beaumont area, making it a great place to visit with family and friends
