Weekday Sketchers at Fire Museum Wednesday
It is said that every kid wants to be a fireman. Perhaps you did or perhaps you didn't but being a fireman is a serious business with evolving technology and lots of nostalgia about the lore of fire fighting Join us this week for a trip back in time and a fun look at a serious subject.
From their website:
Our two exhibit floors trace the development of firefighting in New York from the early bucket brigades to the present day. Displayed are objects that document the history of the volunteer and paid departments, from painted leather buckets to early motorized apparatus. A separate memorial exhibit honors the 343 members of FDNY-EMS who made the Supreme Sacrifice on September 11, 2001.
