About Us
The Norfolk Fire Museum grew out of the old Norfolk Fire Service Historical and Preservation Society and still has very close links with Norfolk Fire & Rescue Service. It is though, a charity and all work is carried out by volunteers. The basis of the collection at present is Local Authority Fire Brigades. This is now being extended to celebrate all fire fighting in Norfolk and we would appreciate receiving any artifacts or information relating to RAF, MOD or Works Fire Brigades that operated in Norfolk.
We became a fully registered charity on 7th February 2019. Our Charity Commission Registration No. 1181921
Our Mission
To celebrate the history of firefighting in the County of Norfolk and to promote fire safety and education to all sections of the community.
How To See Us
Although the Norfolk Fire Museum does not have a permanent display building at the moment we do currently have a pop up museum in Great Yarmouth with a number of our exhibits and some friendly volunteers to show you around. We also have a small display room on the former RAF Coltishall site which we can open for you by appointment. Finally we also have a Touring Museum that can attend your event or school, please contact us to find out more about this. Part of our touring museum can often be seen at our friends at Bressingham Steam and Gardens during events and school holidays, come say hello.
How To Support Us
We are always on the lookout for donations of Norfolk firefighting memorabilia and stories as well as funding donations to help finance our work. If you see us out and about at events with our vehicles and equipment please pop by and say hello. As we have no permanent home at present its lovely to see an interest in what we do, you may even learn something new! Our pop up museum in Great Yarmouth has a great display, we won't spoil it for you, pop by. We are also always on the lookout for willing volunteers no matter what your knowledge.
