The firefighting museum was a big hit with members of the PebbleCreek Singles Club. The Hall of Flame Fire Museum, located in Phoenix, has almost an acre of fire history exhibits and over 80 restored pieces of fire apparatus on display. It’s dedicated to the historical preservation of firefighting equipment used through the years, from around the world. Fire engines dating back to the 1700s and other historic collections are on display. The Hall of Flame honors firefighters who have died in the line of duty, or who have been decorated for heroism. Safety exhibits are a large and important part of their displays as well. The tour is truly an interesting and educational experience.
With fall on the horizon, there is a bevy of new activities and special events being planned by the club’s activities directors for late September, October, and into November.
