The Fire Museum Network has a directory of the almost 300 museums devoted to fire fighting in the U.S. and Canada. It also lists museums in other countries. The web pages of the San Francisco Fire Department Museum reveal the variety of material the topic has to offer: helmets, uniforms, and awards, fire alarm and extinguisher technology, and of course the evolution of the various means of bringing water and firefighters to the scene with hoses, ladders, pumps, and engines.
