About the museum

The Essex Fire Museum brings the history of firefighting to life, with a unique collection of historic fire engines, equipment, uniforms and photographs. Visitors can explore how firefighting has evolved over the years through changing technology and techniques.
Founded by former Grays firefighter Roger Pickett, the museum offers a fascinating insight into the fire service and the brave men and women who have kept communities safe.
It’s also a vital part of our education programme, giving local schools a hands-on, immersive experience of fire service history.
Our dedicated volunteer team has carried out extensive research into the fire service in Essex, helping preserve and share this proud legacy.
