Welcome to the Fire Hall Museum & Education Centre in the restored 1898 Town of Galt Fire Hall, located in beautiful downtown Cambridge, Ontario - with bells to ring, helmets and bunker gear to wear for a fun selfie, and scavenger hunts to try.

The Fire Hall Museum had its own October surprise October 31st, as the Downtown Cambridge Business Improvement Association staged their Hallowe'en Hunt - inviting trick-or-treaters to visit shops throughout the Galt core area - and the City of Cambridge staged a Hallowe'en festival on Dickson Street, in front of City Hall, and at the Farmers' Market.

The surprise? We had anticipated about 800 ghouls and goblins to collect goodies over the course of the four hour Hallowe'en Hunt, but with the gorgeous fall weather we saw more than 2,200 visitors - almost three times what we expected. Not to worry, everyone went home with a treat or a colouring book.

Thanks to all our volunteers for their hard work; to the Cambridge Fire Department for helping us with fire public education; and to all our visitors for making this our busiest and most successful day ever!

Tomorrow! Saturday, October 3 the Fire Hall Museum & Education Centre and the Cambridge Fire Department team up to promote Fire Week™ October 4 -10, Charge into Fire Safety™: Safe Charging Is a Superpower.

Help us spread the word that everyday actions can help prevent lithium-ion battery fires.

Use the cord and charger that came with your device or ones approved by the manufacturer. Using the wrong charger can damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

Charge on a hard, flat surface like a table, desk, or floor. Beds, couches, and pillows can trap heat and block airflow, which can cause a battery to overheat.

Use your charging superpower by making smart choices every time you plug in!
