Los Angeles Fire Department Museum and Memorial, Fire department museum in Hollywood, United States.

The Los Angeles Fire Department Museum and Memorial is a fire service museum housed in a Renaissance Revival building in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. Inside, the building holds historical fire engines, equipment, photographs, and documents that trace how firefighting in the city developed over many decades.

The building opened in 1930 as Fire Engine Company No. 27 and served as an active fire station for many years. In 1985, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, which recognized its value to the city's past.

The building's name, Old Engine Co. No. 27, recalls its years as a working Hollywood firehouse from 1930, and the museum keeps six old-fashioned brass fire poles and high ceilings from that era. The Fallen Firefighter Memorial in front lists every known Los Angeles firefighter who died on active duty, including Capt. Michael J. Carter, killed in 1950.

The museum is in Hollywood and easy to reach on foot from the surrounding area, and a visit of one to two hours is a good amount of time to see the exhibits and the vehicles. A research library is also available for anyone who wants to look more closely at the history of firefighting in Los Angeles.

Five bronze statues stand outside the building as part of a memorial to firefighters who died in the line of duty, and they are visible from the street without entering the museum. The memorial sits directly on the sidewalk, making it a stopping point for passersby as well as visitors.
