• A working fire station: the museum shares the 1891 Erottaja building with today's rescue service
• Closed in summer, since the museum opens only from October to the end of May
• Group visits by arrangement: book ahead on (09) 310 30190, during opening hours

The museum sits inside the Erottaja fire station, built in 1891 and still in service. Kids can see horse-drawn steam and carbonic-acid pumpers, hand pumps, riveted leather hoses, helmets and uniforms, plus the colored lanterns once used to signal fires from the tower at night.

Other rooms cover ambulance history since 1905, scale models of today's rescue stations and a space for changing exhibitions.
