When the new Station Number3 was built in 1926 at College Park, the Orlando Science Center moved the old station to Loch Haven Park. The old station then fell into disrepair. in 2002 the Science Center, in cooperation with the Central Florida Fire Chief’s Association, began exterior & interior restoration, that transformed the old station into a fire museum.
From the Orlando Tourist Bureau Website:
"Among the Museum's fire fighting collections are restored fire engines to include, a 1911 horse-drawn steam pumper, a 1915 LaFrance Fire Engine, and a 1919 LaFrance Ladder Truck.
Its walls are lined with photographs and documents which display their service to the community.
Other Fire fighters' gear on display include: dress uniforms, bomb suits, old metal fire hats, a variety of bells and whistles.
The Museum also houses a memorial dedicated to fire fighters who sacrificed their lives in service." Text Source: (
