Fire Museum Introduction
The Fire Museum is the Hsinchu City Fire Bureau, built in 1936. It is said to be the tallest building in Hsinchu during the Japanese colonial period and is a work from the "light-colored tile and reinforced concrete period." This simple and elegant building features square windows as its basic design, and on the left side, there is a six-story lookout tower with a platform on the top for elevated viewing, topped with an octagonal design. The Fire Museum displays firefighting artifacts from ancient to modern times and also has hands-on firefighting experience areas. It serves as a multifunctional museum with historical value and functions as a small disaster prevention center, presenting disaster prevention education in interesting and diverse forms. In addition, the Fire Museum still retains its function as a fire squad, maintaining its emergency disaster relief capabilities. It is home to many natural beings.
