Reliance Fire Museum

A collection of American Firefighting pieces

The Reliance Fire Museum is dedicated to restoring, preserving, displaying, and operating historical steam and motorized fire apparatus.

Founded in 1994 by Douglas Klink, the Museum continues under his direction today, showcasing symbols of America’s firefighting efforts from the last century. Each piece of apparatus carries with it a colorful history that reveals a designers dream, a firefighters tireless work and a community’s pride. Those elements are brought to life during Museum tours.

Our 12,000 square foot museum building contains approximately 15 pieces of apparatus, and several static displays of one-of-a-kind and retired firefighting artifacts.
