Oregon Fire Service Museum

Oregon Fire Service Museum is a non-governmental 501(c)3 not-for-profit all-volunteer organization made up of a diverse group of men and women, including both active and retired fire service personnel, fire history enthusiasts, general historians, and people who just like fire trucks. We participate in community safety fairs, antique fire apparatus displays, and other events. The organization is governed by an elected board of four officers and seven directors with a curator appointed to the position.
