Groups

The North Charleston Fire Museum proves to be a remarkable and unforgettable location for groups of all ages.
Bring the Group
The North Charleston Fire Museum and Educational Center offers guided and non-guided tours to groups of all types. From Cub Scouts and summer camps to retirement communities and social/community organizations, group tours of the fire museum promises to be a fun and educational experience for all who visit. Groups of 10 or more adults will receive a discount on full-priced admission. You'll also receive personalized service from our staff of current or retired firefighters. The museum also offers ample onsite parking for all size vehicles and buses.



Engagment

At the North Charleston Fire Museum all of our guides are either current or retired firefighters with first-hand, real world knowledge of the fire service. That knowlegde is evident in every guided tour through the museum. Tour guests will not only learn about historical firefighting equipment and tactics, they will actually participate in a bucket brigade or handle an axe. We believe the message of fire prevention and safety is best learned through hands on experience.

Educational Tours

The North Charleston Fire Museum is proud to participate in the South Carolina Fire Academy program "Spray It Forward". This grade and age specific program teaches our guests the importance of fire prevention and fire safety at a level they can understand.

From "Stop, Drop and Roll" to the chemistry of fire, all aspects are reviewed.

The North Charleston Fire Museum proves to be must attend educational field trip for every student and one that could save a life.


Education


Fire Museum educational field trips meet or exceed many South Carolina educational standards for science, health and safety.

The North Charleston and American LaFrance Fire Museum and Educational Center believes that teachers and school administrators have a difficult enough job without having to plan all the details of an educational field trip. In an effort to ease educators' work load, we have compiled some basic themes and teaching activites to use either before or after your visit to the museum. Please check back frequently as we continue to add resources throughout the year
