When I have time, it is fun to surf around and see how other types of museums do things, especially those that display "hardware" like we do. The links below are for fire museums. It will be interesting to see how many involve authentic displays of fire engines in their original firehouses.

Good link! Many railfans are also interested in fire apparatus, I know some personally. I believe the Connecticut Trolley Museum (Warehouse Point) has a fire engine display next door.
One group I had never heard of was the LA County Fire Department Museum--one of their preserved units used to protect my neighborhood when I lived in Duarte CA.
