Estonian Firefighting Museum

Estonian Firefighting Museum (Estonian: Eesti TuletƵrjemuuseum) is a museum in Tallinn devoted to introducing the historical heritage of firefighting in Estonia. The first volunteer fire department in Estonia was created in 1788, by the Brotherhood of the Blackheads, which was one of the first firefighting brigades in contemporary Europe. First professional fire departments were established shortly after the end of the First World War, in 1919.
