The Fire Museum of Texas first opened in 1984 and has been endorsed by the State Firemen's & Fire Marshals' Association of Texas since 1986 as the official fire museum for the State of Texas. Housed in the historic 1927 Central Fire Station for the Beaumont Fire Department, the Fire Museum of Texas exhibits an extensive collection related to the history of fire departments in the state of Texas.

Objects on exhibit date back to the mid-1800s. Hands on areas include a dress up area with bunker gear, the cab to a modern engine and a Fire Safety House.

This National EMS Week, we recognize the everyday heroes who answer the call when our community needs them most.

Like a signal shining across the skyline, the Star of Life represents hope, courage, compassion, and lifesaving care. Our EMS professionals work day and night to protect and serve — often behind the scenes, but always ready to respond.

Thank you to all EMS personnel for your dedication, sacrifice, and commitment to saving lives. Beaumont is stronger because of you. 🚑💙

Today, we honor the courage, sacrifice, and dedication of firefighters everywhere on International Firefighters Day.

From responding to emergencies at all hours to protecting lives, property, and our community, firefighters exemplify bravery and service in its truest form. We also take time to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty—their legacy will never be forgotten.

Here at the Fire Museum of Texas, we are proud to share the stories and history of the fire service and to honor the heroes who serve past and present. ❤️🚒

Please join us in thanking a firefighter today for all they do to keep our communities safe.
