| Firefighters’ Museum of Nova Scotia |
You don't have to be a firefighter to appreciate the Firefighters' Museum of Nova Scotia in Yarmouth. Antique auto enthusiasts especially enjoy the important collection of vintage equipment: the pumpers, hose wagons, and ladder trucks--not to mention the 1863 Amoskeag Steamer, one of the oldest surviving steamers in Canada. Even though these fire trucks had long service careers before being retired, they're all in excellent condition. It only stands to reason. Firefighters routinely risk their lives. As a consequence, they take great pains to ensure the equipment they depend on is in good running order.
A favourite exhibit with the kids is the 1933 Chev Bickle Pumper. The funny name is appealing in itself, but the chance to actually put on a fire helmet and take the wheel is the real draw. |
