CDF Fire Museum
There is a new fire museum opening in San Bernardino, CA (from the Los Angeles Daily Bulletin).
Five years ago, a group of retired firefighters stepped up to save the day. They didn't pull people out of a burning building or stop the forest from going up in smoke.What they did wasn't that attention-grabbing or heroic.
But it was historic.
On Thursday, those firefighters got to see their efforts rewarded, as the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection opened its first museum specifically dedicated to the history of the department.
The museum, housed in CDF's former command center on Sierra Way in San Bernardino, features two rooms full of tools, equipment, clothing, photographs and other memorabilia covering the department's 100-year firefighting history.
I love going to museums, but I've never had the opportunity to go to a firefighting museum. If I ever get to San Bernardino, you can be assured that I won't pass up the chance to check out this new museum.
