About the African American Firefighter Museum

The African American Firefighter Museum opened its doors as a Museum on December 13, 1997. The dedication of the Museum also served as the acknowledgement of what was believed to be the city’s first 100 years of service by African American Firefighters (1897-1997).

Entering the African American Firefighter Museum, located across the street from the historic Coca Cola Building on South Central Avenue in Los Angeles, California, is like taking a step back in time. The museum is located at the historic Fire Station #30, which was one of two segregated firehouses in Los Angeles between 1924 and 1955.

The first floor contains vintage fire apparatus, stories and pictures of pioneering African American Los Angeles Firefighters. The Museum gallery is located on the second floor with pictures, artifacts and other memorabilia of African American Firefighters from around the country.

The museum is completely run by volunteers and also completely driven by donations.
