Discover the JOY of helping someone smile! We are a 100% volunteer run organization that shares our collection of over 60 fire trucks and hundreds of collectable toys with our Mid-Michigan community.
We are looking for people who are willing to maintain and repair our fire apparatus and drive them to various events within Mid-Michigan. Apparatus range in age and condition from the early 1910's through the 1990s. We have a core group of mechanics that are willing to share what they know, and your knowledge and skillsets are welcome so that our group's knowledge can expand.
Although we are open to the public May through October, we can do repairs and maintenance in the winter. It is also a great time for us to plan. So if you are reaching out before May, this is a good time to connect so we're ready when the busy season hits. We have a general volunteer session in March, for those who just want to drop by and meet us before making a commitment.
People of all ages and walks of life help out. We have a blend of volunteers - some have fire service experience, some not, some are retired, others are college students. Reach out to volunteer, today!

The goal and mission of the museum is to celebrate and preserve the rich firefighting history of the Great Lakes Bay region. The museum hosts a unique collection of firefighting equipment from the mid 1800's to modern times and is complemented by a collection of collectible toys. Several apparatus are operational, including the 1922 Model T pumper, and rides are offered to guests on fair-weather days. The museum is also home to the largest fire apparatus ever used, the FDNY Super Pumper.
