History Hounds: Brigades & Dalmatians: A History of Firefighting

Live Zoom Program  

The history of organized firefighting is hundreds of years old. Join the Michigan Firehouse Museum and stroll through history to see how firefighting has changed from bucket brigades to modern day people and equipment. And yes, why dalmatians?
