About
The National Fire Brigade Museum of the Netherlands shows, as part of the foundation National Security Institute (NVI = Nationaal Veiligheidsinstituut), the history of the fire brigade, not only as a technical story but also its culture and social history over more than four hundred years, from 1550 until today.The National Fire Brigade Museum housed in two former naval buildings, the coopers shop (barrel factory) and the great store's room, dating from the 18th century. In our exhibition area of approx. 3,000 m² we show the historical extinguishing equipment, starting with simple leather buckets, to the modern fire trucks of the last century.
