WHO WE ARE

The NFHC is home for the fire service hall of legends, legacies and leaders. We are a vibrant organization supported by private donations and grants.

WHY OUR WORK IS IMPORTANT

Gaining access to historical fire-related writings can be hard. Prior to the establishment of the NFHC in 2006, there was no centralized, coordinated archival activity in the United States.

WHAT WE DO

Our historic preservation efforts including any discipline associated with fire protection. We aid researchers, individuals, and organizations interested in fire protection
