Great store and friendly staff. Prost

Incredibly interactive and hands-on experience - and FREE?! The retired firefighter who led our tour really went out of his way to answer all of our questions. We had fun!Must go if you have kids!

Modifications/ improvements have been done since our last visit, 2 years ago. The retired firefighters are always kind to the little kids and do an excellent job explaining and answering the kids questions. Definitely the place to have the fire safety conversation started.

Great places to view and witness FDNY in action. Plus you can buy a lot patches and t-shirts

We randomly found this place today and it was amazing! A great interactive learning experience with wonderful firefighters. My kid didn’t want to leave.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. A great place to learn the history of the fire department.Thank you for your service

Absolutly loved the place and the people that were there!

Awesome experience! The workers were very kind and let us take great memorable pictures. Thank you for your service FDNY!!!!!

This was an absolutely fantastic experience that we were lucky enough to stumble across on our way through town. George was absolutely amazing and I highly recommend everyone check this experience and shop.

Its a great place to take your kids to learn about fire safety. They are so friendly and helpful. I want to take my child again in the future!

Do you have kids who think fire trucks are cool? Do you secretly want to be a firefighter? Do you want to learn about fire safety? Do you like supporting local institutions? Then you should visit.Inside is: a fire truck, cut down to fit the space but fun to sit inside and see the different parts. A wall full of firefighting equipment and patches from various firefighting units. A room for fire safety demonstrations that looks like a burned out tenement. A gift shop with lots of toys and t shirts.A visit on a weekday morning meant the space was blissfully empty and I spent about an hour and a half playing and perusing. The space is FREE and predominately does field trips to teach fire safety, so I would steer clear during school trips. The fire zone is run by retired firefighters and donations. Great for locals, tourists, and every kid who has ever marveled at a big red truck.

Great little place for kids to explore and learn about fire safety. All the firemen and firewomen were warm and welcoming to is. My little one really loved exploring the fire truck with her friends. We cant wait to see what the new space is going to be like.

Wife of a firefighter so we had to stop here while In the city. The shop was cool, but it was the gentleman that really made it great. He was extremely nice, and we chatted for about 10 minutes. Even asked if we had kids/nieces or nephews to give colouring books to. I will say the lady at the checkout was clearly annoyed to be there and dealing with people but didn’t let that stop the experience. Purchased two sweaters and they came with nice reusable bags. We will for sure be going back when they open the new location!

This place is awesome and friendly.

Tiny education center. Worthwhile visiting. Especially with kids. They have a nice multi media center where they educate children with fire safety. My kids loved it. My smallest was afraid of fire and alarms. Now she has overcome her fear by the story of the retired firefighter who explained the importance of the fire alarms. She also has the feeling that she knows what to do in case of fire.

An amazing experience. There are retired firefighters that teach classes to children. All purchases go back into the store to help fund classes. Firefighters and staff were very friendly. Plenty of awesome fire fighter gear and patches on the walls. They have half a fire truck in the store as well. Very much worth a visit.

A MUST SEE for anyone remotely interested in the fire service or FDNY! Staffed by former FDNY members, they give fire safety classes and have a great selection of buff supplies like Code3 models, sweatshirts, tees and much more. They have actual firefighter gear to check out and a real fire engine you can climb on and sit in. Its a blast! Im on the job and took my own kids there and my cub scouts as well.

Nice place to visit and see some history as well as equipment of the FDNY. The staff was not very friendly when we were there and seemed like we were bothering them when asking questions, which is odd given that the entire purpose of the location is education. Perhaps they were having a bad day. Nonetheless, we are glad we visited and would recommend it.

A nice museum-like space where you can see actual FDNY equipment. Great for young kids because there is a replica fire engine they can drive. When we went, a retired firefighter was on duty and available to answer questions about the FDNY. There is also a small gift shop area in the back.

We were in NYC as part of our sons Make-A-Wish trip. After visiting a firehouse the day before he was wearing a unit hat from the house when we visited the FDNY Fire Zone. A wonderful firefighter doing education that day noticed our sons hat and after talking a bit gave our son the hat off his head. Wonderful

My 2 1/2 year old kids loved it in here playing on the fire truck.Lots of adults having fun too trying on the fire gear.Really friendly staff too. A great place to let the kids let off some steam.

Ive walked by this place hundreds of times but I was with my kids and I finally walked in and Im glad I did. Its a wonderful teaching tool

Great place to bring your kids to learn about fire safety.

Great little shop with the profits going to the Fire Department. Staff were really friendly and answered any questions.

A great place to visit with your children.learn what to do in case of a fire.also there are things to buy.Charlie Muller Jr.

A lovely place to visit and nice to see monies spent goes back into the FDNY...

Visited this store today to buy t shirts for my kids while on holiday.. I’ve given it 2 stars due to the attitudes of the people working there..The items for sale are great but as a uk fire fighter of 18 years I was disappointed to be met with staff who made us feel like it was a major inconvenience for us to be in the shop. The man on duty who was a serving firefighter was more interested in getting back on his phone than any general chat about his job. He may have been having a bad day but as a rep of the hugely respected fdny, a little inthusiasim would go a long way... even if fake. Really took the shine of my afternoon. I’ve met a few fdny this week and they have been great.

Great place and amazing team !!Thanks for your kindness

Friendly staff with a fantastic mission. Proud to have visited and will make it a regular stop in future trips.

Great shop for firefighters made very nice and very nice people

A visit thats worth it. The whole badge of the fire department on the walls. You can also buy shirts, caps, toys and much more. I bought my brother a FDNY EMS shirt, which has a very good quality.

A sensational store with a variety of Fire Department-licensed New York products, apparel, small equipment, various toys, and fire-themed collectibles.The place has a mini fire truck for leisure and pictures of the children.The day I went there was a school trip from a local school, the children were sitting on the floor in front of a panel with various fire brigade stickers. Suddenly the panel rises and white smoke starts to come out underneath the panel, which actually turned out to be the garage gate.The children scream, but it is actually a cinematic smoke and the gate reveals a scenographic room simulating the interior of a burnt-out house, the children get up and are guided on an inside tour and the door closes.A show.

This great

Great place for prevention but also for its shop;)

A fire department colleague was in here and immediately gave me the address when he heard that I was coming to New York. He was really excited and I had stars in my eyes too.

For those who would like to stock up on firefighting items, there are great items. From t-shirts to sweaters and pendants you can buy everything there. Service is also super nice and helpful.

Very nice little shop for firefighters, lots of souvenir items ....... I leave the badge of our fire department of Donnacona.Thanks for the visit, nice people ..
