Visit Parque de Bombas, a museum of firefighting and a landmark of the city. Built in 1882, the building served as the first fire station in Puerto Rico, whose firefighters battled some major blazes in the early years. After 108 years of service, it was turned into a museum; today, you can view many relics, items, and artifacts from the station's history. Admire the Moorish Revival style and vibrant red color of the distinctive building, designed for the 1882 Exhibition Trade Fair.

At the heart or Ponce , next to the beautiful plaza. You can find food kiosk and a suvenior shop right across the street from the Museum. The Gentleman who works there is awesome I took my two children for the 1st time. To show them where their Family came from. And as part of our adventure, i took them here. Its very nice and cool inside . It has artifact from the station was built.

Ponce is a beautiful town. On this trip I met a beautiful, friendly and courteous young lady at the Ponce station. She gave me a little history on the fire truck, the station and also saw me interested in a piece they had and advice the hours and date to see it. She also advice of the Restaurant to visit. I really wish more people like her did their jobs. Ponce town and nearby sites are a must to go place. Explore each town you visit. You will be impressed with everything you learn each day. You live once, enjoy and always give a smile. Let me know if you 👍.
