The FASNY Museum of Firefighting was built on the grounds of the Firemen's
Home in 1925 to safeguard the long and exciting heritage of firefighting
in New York State, which is documented back as early as 1648 when Peter
Stuyvesant appointed four fire wardens to inspect the wooden chimneys of
the houses of New Amsterdam. From that point forward, volunteers have
banded together to offer mutual aid in an effort to thwart any disaster.
The first organized company was started in New York City in 1731, when 42
able-bodied men became the firemen of the City.
The FASNY Museum of Firefighting depicts the history of firefighting
in a moving tribute to those brave men and women who have served
their communities. Observe magnificent floor-to-ceiling displays of
historic paintings, dramatic photos, badges, helmets, torches and
antique toys. Our staff and retired volunteer firefighter tour guides
will be pleased to show you around!
