Hall of Flame Fire Museum

Hall of Flame Fire Museum:

The Hall of Flame Fire Museum and the National Firefighting Hall of Heroes, located in Phoenix, Arizona, has almost an acre of fire history exhibits, with over 90 fully restored pieces of fire apparatus on display, dating from 1725 to 1969. Most of the exhibits are American, but we also have pieces from England, France, Austria, Germany, and Japan. The Hall of Flame sponsors the National Firefighting Hall of Heroes, which honors firefighters who have died in the line of duty or who have been decorated for heroism.
The Hall of Flame is sponsored by the National Historical Fire Foundation, which was established in 1961 by George F. Getz, Jr. The Hall is in Phoenix, Arizona at 6101 East Van Buren St. It is open Monday through Saturday from 9 to 5, and Sundays from Noon to 4.

I spent about an hour navigating this site the other day. The site offers a lot of pictures of the artifacts that the Museum owns. I wonder if there is anything from Roanoke in the Museum. Sounds like a roadtrip. Although I am not sure the next time I will be in Pheonix. Anyways check out the site it is very interesting.
