Warriors of Flames, an exhibit celebrating 125 years of SMFD

The Santa Monica History Museum is holding a celebration for the Santa Monica Fire Department’s 125th anniversary with an exhibit that charts the evolution of the Santa Monica Fire Department from a small grass-roots organization to one of the premiere, most progressive fire departments in the United States. Over the past 125 years, the Santa Monica Fire Department has evolved from a small-town bucket brigade to a cutting-edge fire department. On view at the Santa Monica History Museum from June 28 through September 27, Warriors of Flames chronicles the Santa Monica Fire Department’s fascinating timeline.

The exhibit opens on June 28th with the Santa Monica’s Fire Department’s 1952 Mack fire engine on display at the Santa Monica History Museum. The museum is donating $1 from every paid admission to help restore the historic fire truck.
