The Fire Department Museum
This is a thematic museum, well cared for and very interesting,
enabling the visitor to know the centenarian history of the
Macau Fire Department in an attractive way, located at the
Estrada do Repouso near the Kiang Wu Hospital. Clearly showing
a didactic as well as an historic concern, the museum shows
the different activities performed by the Fire Department
in the local society, all the instruments used in previous
times together with those in use nowadays. Visitors should
note the variety of documents gathered and which are now in
exhibition. It is also worth noticing the dignified way in
which those who gave their lives working for this Department
are now remembered.
