Oklahoma State Fire Fighters Museum

Since the discovery of fire, mankind has always seemed to find a way to end up burning his house down whether by accident or on purpose. To combat these less than uncommon events, special heroes called firefighters rise to the occasion to save houses and in many cases, save lives. Some have even sacrificed their life to save the lives of others. In the Oklahoma State Fire Fighters Museum, you can see how the heroic efforts of fire fighting have evolved from carrying buckets of water, to horse drawn carriages, to the modern day fire trucks we see rushing up and down the street almost every day.

Now the Museum is rather small, so if your just wanting to look at all the restored fire trucks and a few of the other fire fighting memorabilia, it will take you about 15 minutes to go through it all. However if you want to listen to every audio recording on every item, it will take you about an hour. Either way its an interesting little museum. For the kids there is a little area where all the fire trucks and fire fighting patches from around the country are that they can watch a video on what a fireman actually is.  

At the end of the small museum, you can buy a few souvenirs. They have a few toys for the kids, some refrigerator magnets, T-shirts, mugs, etc. After you exit the building, check out the wall of valor, where the names of over 9,000 firefighters who are either still alive or have made the ultimate sacrifice reside with a bronze memorial keeping watch over them all.
