Welcome
Welcome to the Schuylkill Historical Fire Society!
We are dedicated to the preservation of historical fire apparatus and memorabilia. Our collection encompasses fire engines, steamers, helmets, artifacts, and uniforms, which is housed in our museum.
The museum serves as the headquarters for the Schuylkill Historical Fire Society.
The fire society has numerous displays and exhibits of fire equipment and memorabilia for visitors throughout the building.
Displays include over 150 years of fire helmets, parade uniforms, a historical display of fire nozzles and breathing apparatus, an in-house Gamewell Alarm system, and a photo wall of Schuylkill County's most serious fires
The Schuylkill Historical Fire Society is open for fire department, school and private tours. There is no charge for tours, but donations are accepted.
Interested groups should contact President Michael Kitsock at 570-628-3691 or William Kline at 570-622-3678 to schedule a tour.
Membership inquiries are also welcome.
Platt/Button Hand Drawn Pumper Arrives
The SHFS is proud to announce the arrival of the Platt/Button Hand Drawn Pumper.
This pumper is a fine example of the piano wood box style engine used in the 1800s.
Platt developed this pumper, which was the first of its kind to deliver water on both the up and down stroke.
