Museu dos Bombeiros
The Fire Department Museum, or Museu dos Bombeiros is the museum of Macau's Fire Services Department. It is housed in a yellow sandstone building along Rua Coelho do Amaral. The museum is located at the headquarters of the Macau Fire Services, next to Kiang Wu Hospital. It is not really easy to reach this museum, as it is not within a famous tourist spot. Upon entering it, you will realise that the museum is geared to the education of local school kids rather than the overseas tourists.
There are close to 700 items on display, from fire trunks to fire extinguishers, to pumps, hoses, helmets and more.
The Museu dos Bombeiros is open daily from 10:00am to 6:00pm and admission is free.
