Absolutely wonderful museum. Had the pleasure of meeting and receiving a tour from one of their active firefighters, I believe his name was Mike. He was working on adding new displays at the time but stepped away to give us a tour. My son really enjoyed it. Made for great conversation on our ride home. Keep up the great work.

Such a great piece of history that is being saved for future generations so they can appreciate the history of the Elgin Fire Department! The building has been newly cleaned and looks great on the inside with all sorts very cool pieces old Fire Fighter gear. And don't forget about the Fire Trucks!

My camera club went here one blustery night in November. We got full-access to the place. I ran into James up in the attic and he was a wealth of information. There is a ton of gear here.
