The Connecticut Fire Museum, also known as the Trolley Museum Fire Department, is dedicated to the preservation and appreciation of antique fire apparatus and associated equipment. A non-profit and historical association, Connecticut Antique Fire Apparatus Association, Inc., the parent organization of the Connecticut Fire Museum, was organized in 1968, incorporated in 1971, and opened its current facilities to the public in 1975.

The 'latest-views' component contains the most recent photographs taken, either at our facilities or at functions where we operate or lend our mechanical support.

The 'historical-data' component contains photos and text descriptions of our existing antique fire apparatus and related peripheral equipment along with views of the many models that we have displayed within our facilities.

Liberated from the CFM Archive Library some will be the ex-photo of the month while many will be released expressly for this photo section.

located on the same campus in East Windsor CT. You may find additional
