Winnipeg Firefighters' Museum

The four-bay brick and stone fire station that serves as the WInnipeg Firefighters’ Museum was used in continuous service for 86 years, until 1990. For several years after closing, it held the title of longest-serving fire hall in Western Canada. It was identified as Station # 3 until the amalgamation of Winnipeg’s 13 city departments in 1974, when it was renamed as Station #2. The museum offers a glimpse into what firefighting was like from the 1874 volunteer-era to the early 2000s.

The 1 ½ storey section at the rear of the building was originally larger than it is now, and was used as a stable that housed 10 horses, a hay loft, oat bin, and harness room.
