Firefighters’ Museum of Nova Scotia — Attraction in Yarmouth

We were here first thing in the morning and so got a lot of personal attention from Gary. His history and knowledge of the museum is awesome. He made our visit a real learning experience.

The exhibit is outstanding, and the museum houses a nice selection of pumps, fire engines and memorabilia. There is a very interesting room toward the back left on the first floor that speaks to the fire alarm warning boxes seen throughout a town/city.

We paid $5 per person entrance fee, reduced for 65 and older, as well as kids. It was money well spent to see this wonderful museum. Kids are allowed to sit on one of the trucks to explore and pose for pictures, so this is an excellent place for kids.

I highly recommend with the caveat that Gary will make your visit much more interesting than a run through the museum...

I love this museum. The stuff doesn't change often but having been a volunteer firefighter in the past I find the progression of tech and trucks to be really cool.

There's some radio stuff in the small room in the back that I've actually seen on use to this day. When something is old enough to be in a museum but still some in use out in the wild it must be something...

If I could have caught my sons reaction when we walked in, the moment he went "Fire" it would have been but a glimpse of the excitement he felt crossing the threshold.

Filed to the brim with old, restored fire engines, equipment, brotherhood. It gives a glimpse into the history of Yarmouth itself through its turmoil, and loss.

It's truely a think of...
