This street-level window exhibit of antique fire equipment is a memorial to a beloved firefighter. Along with Sparky, his dalmatian, Jeff Morris taught fire prevention and safety to children. The fireman died of cancer in 1974, but his spirit and memory live on in this museum. It is an interesting display of hand pumpers, ladder trucks and a horse-drawn steam pumper. Also on display is a circa-1873 bell that weighs 4,000 pounds and could be heard all the way from downtown Portland to Oregon City. There is no charge to view the exhibit.
