The Museum recently reopened after being closed for 4 years for the preservation of its historic home, “Old 7’s.” Opening in 1899, it is the oldest fire station still standing in Houston. Field trips include the history of the building and firefighting in Houston. Educational activities focus on learning fire prevention and safety tips for the home.
