City of Dawson

The Dawson City Firefighter Museum, established in 1898 during the Gold Rush era, is a non-profit organization operated by members of the Dawson City Volunteer Fire Department. Its mission is to preserve the firefighting heritage by acquiring, restoring, and maintaining artifacts, vehicles, and memorabilia from the history of firefighting in Dawson City.

Located near the Fire Hall and Ferry Landing, the museum boasts an extensive collection of vintage fire engines and equipment, showcasing items from the department's past, including numerous artifacts and vehicles from the early twentieth century to the present day. As the oldest fire department in the Yukon, the museum not only serves as a historical archive but also as a testament to over 124 years of honour, courage, and integrity in firefighting.
