Details

Over 100 years ago, Old Fire Station 6 was built in San Diego’s Little Italy—today, the historic site is home to the San Diego Firehouse Museum. Inside of the museum, visitors will see firefighting equipment and memorabilia dating back to the late 1800s. Some of the highlights include La Jolla’s very first fire engine, a horse-drawn steamer and a piece of steel from the World Trade Center. Firefighting’s rich tradition and heritage live on in the San Diego Firehouse Museum.

Special Activation

The Firehouse Museum Children's Fire Safety room developed in conjunction with the Burn Institute.

Please feel free to bring the kids by to visit our interactive Children's Fire Safety Room:

  • Try on firefighter protective turn out gear.
  • Crawl and navigate tight turns and learn to "Stay Low" during a fire.
  • Practice how to contact 911 and what to say.
  • Fire safety brochures and how to plan your emergency escape.
  • Playtime with numerous toy fire trucks, fire safety coloring books and puzzles!

A special thank you to the Burn Institute for partnering with the Firehouse Museum in developing this
live saving educational fire safety room!
