Kids can
learn how firefighters fight fires and control them.
They
also can inspect all sorts of badges, helmets, parade hats,
and fire marks, which people affixed to their homes to indicate
which insurance company was protecting them.
Kids favorites,
without a doubt, are the fire engines in different areas
of the museum.
Some of them are the old, horse-drawn engines
that will open the curious eyes of people.
