This museum traces the history of organised fire-fighting in Spain since it began. You'll see examples of old horse-drawn carriages (1898) and the first motor-drawn fire engines (1911) as well as a wide selection of pumps and water-propulsion systems that have been used to extinguish fires through the years. Children can achieve their dreams of joining the Fire Brigade by bringing along a photograph and filling in a form. Their details will be registered in the Service List and they'll receive an official ID card.
