New England’s Fire Service Heritage: Portland Fire Museum, Portland, ME

Throughout New England, there are a number of fire museums that offer a look into the history of the fire service in a local  community, a state, or beyond.

One such museum is the Portland Fire Museum, located at 157 Spring Street in Portland, Maine (the former quarters of Engine 4). Its exhibits include an 1848 Crockett hand tub & reel, an 1857 Jeffords hand pumper, an 1867 Button hand pumper, and a 1938 McCann pumper (formerly Engine 12).
