Fire Museum Introduction
The Fire Museum, which is the Hsinchu City Fire Bureau, was built in 1936. It is said to be the tallest building in Hsinchu during the Japanese colonial period and is a product of the "light-colored brick and reinforced concrete" era. This elegantly simple building features square windows as its basic design, and to the left, there is a six-story lookout tower with a platform on the top floor for high-altitude observation, topped with an octagonal design. The Fire Museum displays firefighting artifacts from ancient to modern times and includes an interactive firefighting experience area. It serves as a multifunctional museum with both historical value and the function of a small disaster prevention center, presenting disaster prevention education in fun and diverse forms. Additionally, the Fire Museum still retains its role as a fire team, maintaining its emergency disaster response capabilities. It is also home to many natural organisms.
