The Fire
Brigades Historical Society Qld Inc begun in the early 1980's by
a small dedicated group of fire fighters, after an
enormous amount of time and effort the museum started,
originally know as North Pine Country Markets now the
museum operates in the renamed YMCA Old Petrie Town.
Operating
out of 2 (soon to be 3) buildings on several levels ,
with a replica fire station including a dormitory and
garage to house an appliance.
Embracing
all services the museum has amassed an impressive
collection over the years, displays include rural,
industrial and military with the main aim being the
Queensland fire services history.
The museum
complex is open every Sunday to the public from 8am to
12 noon and by appointment at other times, we can cater for
birthday parties and provide vehicles for your wedding
photos on the grounds surrounded in lovely bush setting
with historic buildings.
Entry to the
museum is by gold coin donation which will help us
achieve ours goals with restoring and maintaining a
historically significant collection of fire appliances
and related equipment.
The museum
is also seeking new members to assist with various
tasks, no experience is necessary we accept new members
from all walks of life, all we ask is that you have a
passion for retaining and maintaining historically
significant items.
