On Saturday, May 1st, 2010 the FIre Museum of Greater Chicago will open to the public. Located at 5218-20 South Western Avenue, formerly the home of Engine 123 until 1974, the museum has been the dream of a group dedicated to the preservation of the traditions and history of the fire service. You can read about the long journey HERE which the group had to take to reach this point. Chicago’s channel 7, an ABC affiliate, did a feature on the opening which can be viewed HERE.
