Though the fire hall was built in 1982, the museum at the rear is a relatively new addition. It contains a number of artefacts from the department, many from the era when it was the "Fire Brigade". The highlights of the museum are the two retired fire trucks, a 1923 International Bickle and a 1938 Ford Seagrave Tandem.
Atop the museum is a replica bell tower containing the old bell from a previous fire hall. It is a bronze bell of considerable size. Note the double ended clapper in one of the photos.
To tour the museum enter the administration office at the front of the building and they will guide you back to the museum.
