Hand or steam pump, horse-drawn pump from 1877 to 1960, more than 150 fire engines from all eras, a permanent exhibition on the attack on the World-Trade Center, which should not be forgotten, in homage to the American Firefighters and civilians who died during this sad period of our time. The Museum received as a donation two vehicles from the PARIS Fire Brigade. In 2022, after many years of hope, the museum will finally be able to offer its visitors, a Loire vehicle dating from 1921. In fact, in partnership with the town of PELUSSIN and the fire brigade of this town, a ROSALIE type pumper from 1921 will be the highlight of the 2022 exhibition.

Anecdotes, stories about the men of the fire down to the smallest details…nothing will be spared you by the inexhaustible and passionate guides of this astonishing museum.

Don't miss the museum's little gems: the first electric-powered firefighter vehicle dating from 1900 and the 1/24th scale model of the Dieppe Barracks, made from cardboard and newspaper; this unique piece, made according to the official plans of the builders, is only visible in Firminy, and was given to the Museum by its author, honorary president of the Museum, who unfortunately passed away in 2018, aged 92 .
