SOHO, Manhattan (WABC) — The New York City Fire Museum will reopen to the public Thursday after two years of repairs.<\/p>\n

The museum, located in a renovated 1904 firehouse at 278 Spring St., has been closed since May 2024 because of concerns about the building’s structural integrity.<\/p>\n

The reopening comes ahead of the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, the deadliest day in FDNY history. Fire Commissioner Lillian Bonsignore will attend.<\/p>\n

The museum houses historic FDNY firefighting artifacts and memorabilia, including items dating to the era of horse-drawn apparatus. Despite the repairs, thousands of artifacts on display remained in place.<\/p>\n

Visitors will enter through a new glass entrance featuring new flooring decorated with enlarged patches from FDNY and EMS houses across the city.<\/p>\n
