Lima Fire Fighters Memorial Museum

The Lima Firefighters Memorial Museum, located at the corner of Elm and Shawnee Streets in Lima, Ohio, serves as a tribute to the city's firefighting history. Established through the efforts of former Fire Chief John Brookman and a dedicated committee, the museum showcases a collection of firefighting artifacts, including a 1929 Ahrens Fox fire engine and a circa 1800 horse-drawn steamer.

Funded entirely by private donations, the museum features a memorial statue honoring firefighters who have died in the line of duty, along with a brick walkway that commemorates every firefighter who has served the Lima community. The museum not only preserves the history of the Lima Fire Department but also engages the community through school tours and special events.
