Drivers Wanted!

The Fire Museum now has its fire truck funeral caisson up and running but we need drivers. If you are an active or retired firefighter and are willing to volunteer to drive the funeral caisson please contact Marty McGinty at 440-223-3552 email irish5863@sbcglobal.net.

Saving History, Saving Lives!

Since 2004, more than 100 people have died in Cleveland fires. Children and the elderly suffered the majority of those deaths. Northeast Ohio suffers more from fires than any other region in the state. To address this burning need, the Western Reserve Fire Museum and Education Center was conceived.

Our capital campaign, Saving History, Saving Lives!, will provide a first-class regional fire museum and education center to dramatically increase fire safety programming and reduce the numbers of fire deaths and injuries in all of Northeast Ohio.
