The Estonian Firefighting Museum (Estonian: Eesti Tuletõrjemuuseum) is a museum in Tallinn presenting 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. The first professional fire departments were established shortly after the end of the First World War, in 1919.[1]
