The store attached to it had a lot of interesting items in it as well. The guy working the cash register as well as the firefighter standing out front were very friendly and courteous

Great place and amazing team !! Thanks for your kindness

I've walked by this place hundreds of times but I was with my kids and I finally walked in and I'm glad I did. It's a wonderful teaching tool

We felt buying here at least you know it is supporting the FDNY. Would be a great place for kids, a fire engine and equipment to try on.

Great little shop with the profits going to the Fire Department. Staff were really friendly and answered any questions.

We went to see the giant Christmas tree last year and we pass by FDNY store! First we thought it was closed because its really late. Fortunately its still open! Woohoo! Bought some fireman hat for my little guy and took tons of pictures too! You can watch our fun time here:

Felt very unwelcomed by the very unpleasant lady that worked there , she was nasty!

Wife of a firefighter so we had to stop here while In the city. The shop was cool, but it was the gentleman that really made it great. He was extremely nice, and we chatted for about 10 minutes. Even asked if we had kids/nieces or nephews to give colouring books to. I will say the lady at the checkout was clearly annoyed to be there and dealing with people but didn’t let that stop the experience. Purchased two sweaters and they came with nice reusable bags. We will for sure be going back when they open the new location!

Great place to bring the kids and learn about fire safety.

Very good people.

Do you have kids who think fire trucks are cool? Do you secretly want to be a firefighter? Do you want to learn about fire safety? Do you like supporting local institutions? Then you should visit. Inside is: a fire truck, cut down to fit the space but fun to sit inside and see the different parts. A wall full of firefighting equipment and patches from various firefighting units. A room for fire safety demonstrations that looks like a burned out tenement. A gift shop with lots of toys and t shirts. A visit on a weekday morning meant the space was blissfully empty and I spent about an hour and a half playing and perusing. The space is FREE and predominately does field trips to teach fire safety, so I would steer clear during school trips. The fire zone is run by retired firefighters and donations. Great for locals, tourists, and every kid who has ever marveled at a big red truck.

I was there yesterday and I had the greatest experience. I am a firefighter myself in Germany and it was great to talk to American ones. A big thank you to Ned who talked to me and shared his thoughts! You guys are doing a great job! I’ll be back when I’m in NYC again. 😁

we discovered it after visiting the Rockettes. amazing Tribute to all those who volunteer

Visited this store today to buy t shirts for my kids while on holiday.. I’ve given it 2 stars due to the attitudes of the people working there.. The items for sale are great but as a uk fire fighter of 18 years I was disappointed to be met with staff who made us feel like it was a major inconvenience for us to be in the shop. The man on duty who was a serving firefighter was more interested in getting back on his phone than any general chat about his job. He may have been having a bad day but as a rep of the hugely respected fdny, a little inthusiasim would go a long way... even if fake. Really took the shine of my afternoon. I’ve met a few fdny this week and they have been great.

The staff were not the friendliness, the main firefighter on the floor was too busy chatting up 2 blonde ladies outside the place to bother to speak to my kids. Good to see all the American firefighter equipment on display on the wall and the kids had a chance to sit in the truck but overall quite a disappointment.

We just happened to come across it. The fire fighter who greeted us was very courteous. There is a mini version of a fire truck for you to go on. Nice souvenir shop. Worth a quick stop.

We were treated greatly and we loved the experience. My son is autistic and although they thought he may not be able to handle the fire simulation and loud sounds, he actually did and the firefighter in charge was very impressed.

Nice place to visit and see some history as well as equipment of the FDNY. The staff was not very friendly when we were there and seemed like we were bothering them when asking questions, which is odd given that the entire purpose of the location is education. Perhaps they were having a bad day. Nonetheless, we are glad we visited and would recommend it.

A nice museum-like space where you can see actual FDNY equipment. Great for young kids because there is a replica fire engine they can drive. When we went, a retired firefighter was on duty and available to answer questions about the FDNY. There is also a small gift shop area in the back.

Had an amazing experience today! What a great way to support FDNY. We had the opportunity to chat with Luis today who took the time to talk with us and show the kids around. Thank you!

Wished I was able to go in. Upon checking , did not realized it was not open yet for business. I'll definitely come back.

horrible racism my son was ignored for being Hispanic and was not treated equally as the other white kids that attended. they didn't even offer him a jacket or a fire hat he was told to figure things out for himself and wasn't given a tour. my wife was prepared to leave a $100 donation but quickly changed her mind. I will never go again and I will make sure my whole community ignores this place.

We were in NYC as part of our son's Make-A-Wish trip. After visiting a firehouse the day before he was wearing a unit hat from the house when we visited the FDNY Fire Zone. A wonderful firefighter doing education that day noticed our son's hat and after talking a bit gave our son the hat off his head. Wonderful

Good morning mate. I am a Firefighter in Portugal and I am a collector of all types of firefighters from all over the world, of which I have a great passion for the American Firefighters. I would like to know how I can have something from your Fire Department detachment to exhibit in my collection that I also transfer to you something from my Fire Department detachment from here in Portugal?

excelente.!! buena atencion. muy bonita tienda para bomberos saludos a todos

Such an exceptional display of apparatus, resale items and patches from across the world. We walked in when I small class was being given to some children, and being an ex-FF, I found it very informative and hands-on for them at their age (7-10). Will certainly return when I travel to NYC again.

A MUST SEE for anyone remotely interested in the fire service or FDNY! Staffed by former FDNY members, they give fire safety classes and have a great selection of buff supplies like Code3 models, sweatshirts, tees and much more. They have actual firefighter gear to check out and a real fire engine you can climb on and sit in. It's a blast! I'm on the job and took my own kids there and my cub scouts as well.

The crew that was working 18 November 2017, were awesome. If your in the city make sure you stop buy and spend some money!!!! It goes to FDNY Safety Education!

The firefighter on station did a fantastic job with the children that came in. He showed an excellent video and encouraged their enthusiasm about a career in firefighting.

We visited the FDNY Safety Zone and what a surprise, Dan bought another tshirt 😜 The girls had fun until Bronte cried because we wouldn’t let her get yet another stuffed toy 🙄 😂

The staff and clerks are quite helpful and I did find what I came for: an FDNY shirt for my dad who is an EMT/Fire Fighter. Some of the merch is slightly pricey, but thats typical of a tourist souvenir shop

It's a great place to take your child to learn about safety in the event of a fire. What to do, what not to do. The whole experience is an eye opener and definitely your child will be more aware of their surroundings. My daughter now looks for Exit signs. The fire fighter who did our presentation was great and a very good teacher at that. At the end, thank you FDNY for all you do.

I took my son here and it was a great experience! We both found it to be informative and I'm happy to have learned as much as I did during the tour even as an adult! Thanks again!

The few historical items were interesting and the learning centre would be good (but you need a group booking) the retired fire fighters are good to talk for some real history.

On vacay in Manhattan with two children, ages 8 & 11, who are not the best at sightseeing so I thought they'd enjoy the home fire safety class. FDNY FZ was a great learning experience for them and for me. Fireman Mike conducted the multi-media presentation. He made the class fun and interactive. My kids have developed their own fire escape plan for our house from what they learned. Besides the class, this is a retail store for the FDNY. Not a museum.

Came here on a class trip (my son's 3rd grade class). The kids and chaperones had a blast. This destination is a must stop esp for families. The museum has so many amazing things to see and learn.

Absolutely phenomenal! Must visit. Staff is amazing ! ��

Without a guide, this place was mainly a fire truck on which kids (and adults, if you wanted) could climb, and a gift shop.There were fire fighter paraphernalia and fire company badges on the wall...

Chaperoned a trip with my sons kindergarten class here and it was amazing! The fire fighters are very attentive and great story tellers

Took my p.s.83 of the bronx second grade class there on a trip. The captain fireman who took care of us was great and very informative. The students loved it and learned a lot about fires. Thank you so much for having something like this.

I would like to go back in on my own to look at all the fire badges and I think they have a simulator of some kind. The boys would have been too small for that. Worth a visit, definately with young kids interested in fire trucks.

hi there anyone do you know what the email is for this shop so I can speak to them please

Thanx for the amazing safty instructions that you give my daughter she was really amazed. Was A Great tour.

A great educational FDNY! Staffed by former FDNY members, they give fire safety classes to children. They have a nice multimedia center where they educate children with fire safety. All children must visit there. Learn what to do in case of a fire. Firefighters and staff were very friendly.

An amazing experience. There are retired firefighters that teach classes to children. All purchases go back into the store to help fund classes. Firefighters and staff were very friendly. Plenty of awesome fire fighter gear and patches on the walls. They have half a fire truck in the store as well. Very much worth a visit.

Friendly staff with a fantastic mission. Proud to have visited and will make it a regular stop in future trips.

Great place! It's really informative and friendly staff

Ist sehr lehrreich für Kids aber auch Erwachsene lernen dort viel , kann dieses nur sehr empfehlen 😀 😀 😀 😀

Doing great job and have. professional teachers. I love them and everything they are done.

A great place for kids to learn about fire safety which is fun and interactive. Hopefully you get retired Fireman Ned as your instructor. He was amazing!

took my 5 year old godson. happy to say he knew a few things but we both learned somethings new. 45 min to an hour educational class with videos. Practice how to check a warm door and crawling out to escape a smoked room (they control that of course) it allows the child AND adult to actually act out an escape. pretty cool for kids...and adults

I loved it and my son and his cub scout buddies enjoyed it to. Very educational !!!!! I salute the fire fighters that hold New Yorkers down....we thank u

Very nice and very cool

This was an amazing experience for a special class and such nice Fire Fighters.loved the experience with my son and his classmates. We will come again and continue to educate our children on this matter.

Great place to take your kids! My son loved it! Firefighter Ned was awesome to talk to.

Went on a school trip with my 6yr old they loved it i thought it was very educational

Our 3 year old was so excited to go in the fire truck and Ed the fire man on the door was so welcoming. Thank you for an unforgettable NYC experience.

Wonderful place to learn from! I took my two daughters there and the staff was wonderful and extremely informative. They discuss fire prevention and safety!

Capt Stefano took us round on the experience. The work and educational experience was second to none. We need this sort of experience and dedication in our country. Valuable information to adults and children alike. I really can't praise the FDNY enough. Massive thanks to Capt Stefano who was kind, courteous and amazing to talk to.

Tiny education center. Worthwhile visiting. Especially with kids. They have a nice multi media center where they educate children with fire safety. My kids loved it. My smallest was afraid of fire and alarms. Now she has overcome her fear by the story of the retired firefighter who explained the importance of the fire alarms. She also has the feeling that she knows what to do in case of fire.

We went today and we had lots of fun! The firefighter was very nice and showed us what to do in case of a fire. The kids learnt and had a blast!

Was great to be there! Friendly People an Great fdny stuff

Great experience for the kids. Thanks very much.

Great experience for my 5 year old to introduce her to fire fighting. We also came here after we went to the 9\/11 Museum to help her better understand the significance of the event.
