The 'Firefighters Museum Society - Calgary' overall purpose is to
acquire, restore, maintain and protect fire apparatus, firefighting pictures, equipment and
memorabilia relating to the Fire Service. The long-term goal is to
establish a Fire Fighters Museum (Heritage Center) to house and permanently
display Calgary's fire history for the benefit of all the citizens of Calgary.
The Museum Society dedicates itself to this purpose.
The responsibility for the establishment of a Fire Fighters Museum has
fallen solely upon the professional fire fighter employed by the City of
Calgary. We bear this burden with great pride and unity of purpose. We have an
obligation to maintain the high standards set, not only by the Society, but
also by I.A.F.F. Local 255 and the Calgary Fire Department Administration,
therefore we conduct ourselves accordingly.
(The Society membership is
comprised of Firefighters, Retired Firefighters and the many friends of
Firefighters, whom we give great thanks for their help in this mission.)
