I just visited the Museum. It is located on Bloomfield, a couple of houses down from 2nd. The museum is normally closed and you have to call the FD and they will send someone to let you in. They have one engine and some other old equipment there. They have many pictures of local fires and newpaper clippings. There are some pictures of past firemen as they received awards and promotions. There are also a collection of the daily logs. The ones I saw were around the 1850's. If you are looking for a particular person, it is a hit and miss. I was lucky to find my g-uncle listed in the newspaper as being appointed and then later making Captain. His name was Herbert F. Cloud and the time frame was 1940 to at least 1967. Another avenue to investigate is the Uniform Fire Officers Association, a step I still need to take. "Elizabeth A.Forsyth" wrote: > There's a Hoboken Fire Dept. museum in Hoboken (naturally). I don't remember the exact location. It has old records, pictures, etc. Very interesting.
