Contrary to some posts on the Internet, there are no days with free admission, as some other Memphis attractions have.. We apologize for any inconvenience. Free admission is only offered to museum members (must purchase a membership) and Red Door Members of the Memphis Fire Department.
THE FIRE MUSEUM OF MEMPHIS IS OPEN DAILY FROM 9 AM UNTIL 4:30 PM. HOWEVER, GUESTS ARE ONLY ALLOWED IN UNTIL THE LAST ADMISSION AT 3:30 PM. This is to allow each guest at least one hour to tour our facility and see each exhibit. We hope you enjoy your experience at the Fire Museum of Memphis.
Memphis Fire Station No. 1 is located at 235 Chelsea Avenue, at the corner of North Fourth Street. It
was built under the administration of Mayor Jim Strickland and Fire Chief Gina Sweat and the grand
opening was held on April 10, 2023. Station 1 houses Engine 1, Truck 2, and Emergency Unit 11. This
building replaced the former Station 1 at 211 Jackson Avenue, which was demolished and the property
given to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
