Experience the Heroism. Explore the History.

Our Mission:

"The mission of the New Jersey Fire Museum and Firefighters Memorial is to honor the heritage and sacrifice of New Jersey’s firefighters with a firefighter memorial and a museum, both of which engage and educate the public in the history and evolution of firefighting in New Jersey."

The New Jersey Fire Museum & Fallen Firefighters Memorial is the ultimate destination for families, history buffs, and firefighter fans. Located near historic Allentown, NJ, we bring the excitement of the fire service to life. Whether you’re a toddler obsessed with "red trucks" or a collector of history, there is something here to spark your curiosity.

What to Expect

Historic Fleet: Explore two massive galleries packed with vintage fire engines and rare, hand-pulled equipment.

The "Toy Room" Favorite: A must-see for all our guests! This dedicated space features an incredible collection of model fire trucks and toys.

A Place of Honor: Visit our interim memorial featuring a sacred artifact from the Twin Towers and tributes to New Jersey’s heroes.

Looking to 2025: We are thrilled to announce that plans are underway to expand and relocate the Fallen Firefighters Memorial to its own dedicated parcel on our grounds.
