Today, in Greater Cincinnati, firefighters and citizens alike continue to build on a legacy rich in the history of firefighting. Young children, the handicapped and the elderly are particularly vulnerable to fire. 13,000 children and 12,000 adults from the Greater Cincinnati Metropolitan area, including Southern Ohio, Southeast Indiana, and Northern Kentucky, visit the Fire Museum each year. Visitors also come from all 50 states and many foreign countries. Firefighters respond to our new 911 number for emergencies and accidents.
Accidents are the leading cause of death for children.
The mission of the Fire Museum is prevention.
