Brandweermuseum Borculo: looking at firefighting and turnouts

Brandweermuseum Borculo collects vehicles and equipment relating to firefighting. Large fire engines draw the attention, but pumps, helmets and uniforms deserve just as much of a place in your visit.

Plan your visit ↗

Setting water in motion

Hand pumps, a steam pump and motor pumps show different kinds of firefighting equipment side by side. Look at the controls and connections on each object. That makes it easier to ask targeted questions about the work it was intended for.

From vehicle to miniature

The collection contains both fire engines and miniatures. Uniforms and helmets are also part of the presentation. A film about a call-out adds movement to the material you look at in the rooms.

The right seasonal schedule

Opening hours differ between February and March and the longer season from April onwards. There are also public holiday exceptions and a last entry time before closing. The building has a lift and lists facilities for wheelchairs and rollators.

Before you go

Check the season and the last entry time; do not count on getting in just before closing.
