Penrith Museum of Fire, Firefighting museum in Australia

Penrith Museum of Fire is a firefighting museum in Penrith, western Sydney, that holds a collection of vehicles, equipment, and tools spanning several centuries of Australian fire service history. The collection ranges from hand-operated pumps of the 1800s to more recent fire trucks, arranged so visitors can follow the changes in technology over time.

The collection's provenance runs from 1841 to 1998, and the heritage fleet was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 25 February 2013. The museum grew out of the Historic Fire Engine Association of Australia, formed at Turramurra on 13 March 1969 by eleven members holding some fifteen vehicles. It opened at the old Power House in Penrith on 16 November 1986, after earlier homes at Alexandria, Walsh Bay and Circular Quay.

The museum grew out of the Historic Fire Engine Association of Australia, formed at Turramurra on 13 March 1969 by eleven members who together held about fifteen vehicles. Its first preserved engine, a Leyland FT3 pumper, was acquired in 1971. The association opened the Museum of Fire at Penrith's old Power House on 16 November 1986, and volunteers still run it.

The museum occupies the old Power House at Penrith, where it was re-established in September 1985 and officially opened on 16 November 1986. The heritage-listed vehicles, including the 1898 Shand Mason Curricle Ladders and the 1942 Ford 21W Mobile Canteen, are displayed indoors, so allow time to read the registration entries beside each one.

The 1891 Shand Mason steamer, nicknamed Big Ben and listed as No. 18 Steamer, is one of several vehicles added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 3 December 2004. The museum also holds the 1898 Shand Mason Curricle Ladders and the 1869 seven-inch manual engine, both listed on 25 February 2013.
