The fireman museum.

Chuck trying to pump the water. This is how they used to do it back in the day. He was there quite a while before he figured out that it was a museum, and so therefore, there wasn't going to be any water return. Its okay, Chuck!

This was the staircase to get up to the barracks where the guys would relax and sleep. An old "wives tale" of the staircase, is that they made them twirl around because back when they had horses, the horses were not able to go up the staircase. But who knows.

This is an old water tank holder thing, I forgot what it is called. But the horses would have to pull this to a fire and this is what they used for water. I think they would have to pump it up first to get the water going and then they could use it. Not what I would want to used today, thats for sure!

This is a "ladder" truck. The fireman sits at the back of the truck (to the left of the picture) and steers the opposite way the driver does to be able to coordinate a turn when driving. And those would be wooden ladders in the back. That's how old this truck was.

These were some of the fireman helmets that different countries had used many, many years ago.
