The Virginia Fire and Police Museum, founded in 1976, is housed in Richmond's oldest standing firehouse, which served as the home for Steamer Company number 5 and the 3rd police station. The museum showcases police and firefighting architecture, uniforms, equipment, and offers educational programs on fire and life safety.
The museum's collection, spanning from 1879 to 1985, includes log books, supply lists, reports on personnel and equipment, accounts, inventories, correspondence, and records of fires in Richmond. Visitors can explore company rosters, duties, alarms, equipment checks, and other historical information through the museum's extensive archives.
