Step into the rich legacy of courage and service in our latest exhibit, Answering the Call – A History of Fire and Rescue in Warren County. This dynamic display explores the evolution of emergency response in our community—from bucket brigades and hand-pulled apparatuses to the modern fire engines and life-saving technologies of today.

Through a compelling mix of historic artifacts, archival documents, photographs, uniforms, and equipment, the exhibit tells the story of the dedicated individuals and volunteer companies who have served Warren County in times of greatest need. Highlights include vintage turnout gear, early 20th-century dispatch logs, and rare firefighting tools that capture the ingenuity and bravery of past generations.

Items are generously on loan from local fire and rescue departments and private collectors, reflecting the strong partnerships and shared history that bind our community. Archival materials from the Warren Heritage Society’s collection further illuminate key events and milestones in local fire and rescue history.

This exhibit honors not only the responders who have answered the call, but also the community that supports them. Visitors of all ages are invited to explore this immersive journey and gain a deeper appreciation for the heroes who protect and serve.
