Connecticut Firemen's Historical Society

The Connecticut Firemen's Historical Society, located in Manchester, CT, is dedicated to preserving the rich history of Connecticut's fire service. Housed in a historic 1901 wooden firehouse, the museum showcases a variety of collectibles and eleven pieces of fire apparatus, reflecting the legacy of volunteer firefighters in the region. Among the highlights of the museum is the Orange Volunteer Fire Department, an all-volunteer service established in 1925 that exemplifies the spirit of "Neighbors Helping Neighbors." With a commitment to quick response and community service, this department responds to approximately 500 calls annually, underscoring the vital role of volunteers in local fire protection.
