The First Due Fire Museum offers a fantastic display of blaring lights and old fire truck sirens to create an engaging atmosphere for young and old visitors alike. Volunteer and off-duty fire fighters in the St. Louis area are responsible for the museum's upkeep, with one volunteer fire fighter traveling all the way from Jefferson County to do his service. Eric Kiehl, one of three founders and an active fire fighter for the city of Hazelwood, said it was just natural to open an historic preserve. "There were three of us and we knew a lot of people and fire fighters with a lot of great stuff," he said. "We just thought it was our public duty to share it all."
