The New Houston Fire Museum
|
| The new Houston
Fire Museum
will be designed after the old 1904
Central Fire Station that was
located at the corner of Texas and
San Jacinto. The new fire
museum will include a tower
reminiscent of the original central
station (pictured). |
|
 There
will be an entry plaza, a Main Street garden
and ample free parking. The "open-bay"
concept will effect a street scene featuring
antique apparatus bound to attract
passers-by.
The facility will
contain unique "hands-on" exhibits suitable
for children of all ages, the first city's
facility dedicated to provide a first-class
fire and life safety education for citizens
of all ages.
In the entry plaza will be
erected a bronze statue of a firefighter at
a fire (pictured) by
 Edd Hayes, Official
Texas State Sculptor from Old Town Spring,
Texas.
The new museum is
intended to focus on education and
prevention of life safety, unlike the old
museum which focused on the historic aspects
of firefighting. Plans call for having the
antique equipment on the first floor and the
historic artifacts from personnel on the
second floor. |
