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.
