History

The Dallas Firefighters Museum occupies the 1907 Old No. 5 Hook and Ladder Company station, which operated as an active firehouse until 1975. Incorporated as a nonprofit in 1970 and designated a City of Dallas Historic Landmark in 1972, the museum opened in May 1975 and is staffed by active and retired firefighters. Its collection of more than 2,000 artifacts includes "Old Tige," an 1884 horse-drawn steam pumper, one of only three left in the United States.
