The Fire Museum of Maryland gives the public a chance to trace the history of firefighting in Baltimore all the way back to the War of 1812. The Discovery Room allows visitors to see fire apparatus in action. Children can dress up in turnout gear and climb on a 1938 Mack Engine.
One of the most unique artifacts held by the Fire Museum is the 1871 cast iron facade of Baltimore Engine Company #8 which was located on Mulberry Street. It was the first firehouse built by the new (1859) Baltimore Fire Department that had previously been buying existing firehouses from volunteer companies. The Fire Museum has restored this facade and created a “Life of a Fireman” exhibit behind its doors, creating a firehouse within a firehouse, the only exhibit of its kind in America.
