The fire hall at 351 Birchmount Road and the corner of Highview Avenue started service in 1925 with its iconic hose tower and remained in active service until 1999. In the basement there is a unique jail cell as well as two washrooms.

After the amalgamation of Scarborough into the City of Toronto the Scarborough Firefighter Retirees Organization began gathering artifacts and memorabilia to set up the museum.

The former auto repair shop has been converted into a second venue for the large collection of artifacts to be displayed. The station building houses two interesting early fire trucks, a kitchen and some offices.

The tour was conducted by Co-Presidents Roy Fletcher and John Vonk as well as several other volunteer retirees.
