Fireman's Association of the State of New York

The dictionary defines a museum as "a place where important things are preserved: a building or institution where objects of artistic, historical, or scientific importance and value are kept, studied, and put on display.” We, however, think of the FASNY Museum of Firefighting as much more than just that! 

We want Museum visitors to explore, discover and learn. We want Museum visitors to be both enlightened and entertained by their visit to the FASNY Museum of Firefighting.

Whether you are a firefighter on a pilgrimage to the Museum for the first time, a family looking for a fascinating daytrip or a student of history whose interest has been piqued by the fire service, we strive to engage you by presenting the subject of firefighting as history, as culture, as a service to humanity, as a preventative practice and as ever-changing art and technology.
