This piece of equipment sits in the lobby of the visitor center.  There is a small display to the right.  The main exhibit is in a separate room on the left.

This is part of the smaller display - a few artifacts and lots of photographs of Bucks County firefighters.

The belts of three fire houses.

This pumper is in the main exhibit.  It's quite a work of art.  The firefighters who operated this beautiful machine are pictured behind it.

A lot of firefighting was done with buckets.

This statue was carved to honor a fireman who died in a blaze in New Orleans, Louisiana.
