About Minnesota Fire Engine Club

Our Mission

The Minnesota Fire Engine Club is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to educating club members in the history, restoration, and operation of firefighting equipment and sharing our knowledge through demonstrations to the public at special events, ensuring it remains a part of our firefighting heritage.

We are a group of hobbyists who collect real working fire apparatus that have been retired from service. These fire apparatus are still fully functional and we do many things as a club. Some of which are: Parades, demonstrations for the public.

VOLUNTEER ACTIVITIES INCLUDE:

Repairing and restoring fire trucks; drafting water from a lake, stream or pond, raising ladders; re-enactments
with turnout gear and apparatus; vehicle maintenance; or just sitting around the shop talking about the trucks.

It's all based on fun!

TIME COMMITMENT:

This is a strictly volunteer organization. Volunteer as much time as you want or are able to—we will take it!
Events are mainly scheduled spring, summer and early fall.
Winter months are used for working on trucks, getting them ready for the next season.

MEMBERSHIP:

Our annual membership fee is $20. The membership year is February through January.
Dues accepted after November 1 apply to the next year. We welcome everyone and are family friendly!
You are never too young or too old to play with fire trucks!
