Historic fire truck in Santa Ana

SANTA ANA’S FIRE DEPARTMENT HISTORY IN A WORKING FIRE STATION

Saturday, November 9th, noon to 4 pm

The Santa Ana Historical Preservation Society invites you explore the proud history of Santa Ana’s firefighters at an Open House at our newest museum addition, the Santa Ana Fire Museum.

Housed in a working fire station, the public can view vintage equipment and memorabilia dating back to the late 1800s, alongside state of the art contemporary fire trucks and equipment. Hands-off the modern items (and don’t be surprised if a call comes in while you are there!) but don’t miss a hands-on experience with the fully restored 1921 Seagrave fire engine and specially designated items along your guided tour.

Be sure to visit our gift shop to purchase interesting books on local history, and firehouse related items. (And pick up a 10% discount for nearby Original Mike’s restaurant.)

Ticket prices are:

Adults $5, Seniors and Members $4, Students K-12 $3

The Santa Ana Fire Museum is located at Fire Station #75 at  120 W Walnut St Santa Ana, California (1 block south of 1st St, between Main & Sycamore)

(Free visitor parking is available in the lot behind the fire station, located at Pine and Sycamore. Additional parking is available at Original Mike’s restaurant at First and Main.)
