Musée du sapeur-pompier d'Alsace

About

The Musée du sapeur-pompier d'Alsace is a museum dedicated to firefighters located in Vieux-Ferrette, in the south of Alsace. It presents material dating from 1648 to the present day. The collection, which includes more than 260 machines, is labeled Musée de France and the museum has obtained the international label "CTIF Museum" (Comité technique international du feu), which it is the only one to possess in France.

The collection is divided into two rooms. In the first room are exhibited old hand pumps, helmets, hippomobile steam pumps, various equipment, badges and charms and vehicles built until the 1930s. The second room is dedicated to newer vehicles from the 1940s to the present day.

There is also an exceptional collection of Delahaye vehicles - in numbers and diversity - and an exclusive: an airport intervention truck.
