The Nebraska Firefighters Museum and Education Center will be a place to preserve the state's firefighting history. The facility will include a hall of fame to memorialize past and present firefighters who have acted above and beyond the call of duty, as well as a memorial garden along the Platte River. A fourth component of the project will be an education center where school groups and other visitors can learn about fire prevention and firefighting education.
Ground breaking should begin the spring of 2006 and to open by the summer of 2007.
