Hall of Flame Fire Museum

"WOW! Purchase your ticket and step back in time and read and learn about the history of firefighting. From hand drawn pumpers to modern fire apparatus there is a lot of history packed in this building. You can see so much from fire department helmets, patches and gear. Read the history of these restored pieces and where they came from. Please add this place to your list of things to see. It’s well worth your time."

"It was good but my brother in law was in a rush to see the newer engines and there weren't many from the modern era. Lots of patches, love the computer search terminal. Could use more interactive things for adults."

"The two gentleman Bob and George working the desk were so knowledgeable, fun, and happy to help! The museum was clean and very visitor friendly. The bathrooms were clean, the place is very wheelchair accessible, and very easy to get around the museum. Very beautiful displays of the advancement in technology in the fire service. Displays and Information were awesome! The 9/11 rescue 4 exhibit was especially moving!"

"What an absolutely FANTASTIC museum!!! Every time I visit Phoenix I make sure to visit as many of the museums as I can, and this gem has definitely become my favourite! I was greeted by Bob, and what a wonderful volunteer he is! So friendly and welcoming, and so much knowledge! He clearly absolutely loves the museum and being there and it showed. He saw me wandering through the exhibits a few times and would come over and show how certain of the fire trucks would have worked and explained how they operated. He is an absolute credit to your museum. Thank you for making my visit such a great one! The exhibits are fascinating. It's amazing to see how it started with people power, to the modern day fire trucks. Some of those carriages were so intricate and detailed, I was definitely not expecting them to have looked liked that. It was so emotional seeing the engine that was present at 9-11. I was incredibly moved by that section of the museum, and the team have done such a fantastic job with the restoration. I cannot recommend the Hall of Flame highly enough. From the incredible exhibitions to the wonderful volunteers working there. There is also an area for children to play which I'm sure they love! I would 100% visit again! Thank you again to Bob for being so friendly and helpful!"

"I really enjoy this hidden gem. It's got ac, isn't crazy expensive and offers a deep history on a very niche topic that you're unlikely to find elsewhere. The staff are attentive and educational for any questions. I've been twice now with kids ages 4-13 and while the 13yr olds interest are waining he finds the historical story telling interesting. Even some interactive trucks and kids areas for younger ones. Tons of fire trucks, tons of history behind firefighting, their techniques and tools. Homage to those fallen in the line of duty. Specific remembrance for those at ground zero. Additionally details and vehicles from the Hot Shots who lost their lives. Once again highly recommend."
