John T. Brennan Fire Museum
A fire museum is set to reopen (from The Jersey Journal):
The Bayonne Fire Department will mark its 100th birthday later this summer with a parade and post-parade party on the lower level of 16th Street Park.As part of the Sept. 9 celebration - six days after the actual anniversary date - the department's brass plan to put out a souvenir journal and invite the public to see the fruits of long hours spent renovating and maintaining the John T. Brennan Fire Museum on West 47th Street off Broadway.
...
Among the artifacts still remaining are an ancient, manually operated, horse-drawn pumper and a well-traveled 1840 hose cart, originally used by New York, then by a post-Civil War southern state, then the Peekskill, N.Y., Fire Department and, finally, Bayonne.
Sounds cool. If you are near Bayonne, NJ, stop by and check it out.
Congratulations to the Bayonne Fire Department for hitting the century mark. Have a great celebration!
