Cincinnati Fire Museum
Museum to the Birthplace of Professional Firefighting
From their website:
“In 1853, the first paid professional fire department in the United States was founded in Cincinnati and it changed American firefighting forever.
Listed on the National Historic Registry, the Cincinnati Fire Museum celebrates our city’s proud history and allows you to experience what it was like to work in the busiest Cincinnati firehouse in 1906. You and your family will see some of the oldest firefighting equipment in existence when visiting the Cincinnati Fire Museum.”
