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 improve our museum grounds, including yard work, repairs/improvements, and cleaning. Your hard work helps our visitors enjoy their experience, and you get to work side-by-side with others who want to help our community.
We are hosting a welcome/training session in March in preparation for the May through October 2024 Season. Maintenance, projects, cleaning, and yard work can occur seasonally and be scheduled year-round, depending on your skills and what we have available on our project list. If you miss our March volunteer welcome session, that's OK - it's just an easy way to learn more about us. We work with YOU to help match a time and project that fits your situation.
We routinely have groups who want to help us throughout the year. Clubs, troops, student groups, and churches are all welcome to reach out - we ask for a single point of contact so it helps us with logistics with your team.
People of all ages and walks of life help out. Men, women, seniors, college students, busy professionals, former firefighters, and some that have no experience with the fire service at all. You are WELCOME - please reach out to connect with us!

Mission Statement
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.
Description
A Board of Directors oversee the day-to-day operations of the museum. The museum is 100% volunteer run and relies on grants and donations for funding. Volunteers help secure grants, help with daily operations, and fix trucks so they can be showcased in parades and local car shows.
