Fire Station Memorial

While riding the trolley from downtown to campus, if you look to your left at one point, you can see a small building that appears to hold a fire engine in front of the downtown fire station. I was curious about it, so I stopped and peeked at it today.

While there is a decided lack of friendly parking, the area is much more interesting than an engine in a building. There is a memorial to firefighters who died, either in the line of duty or after retirement. The building has about five displays, giving a little slice of Knoxville history, but parts of the display seem to be in bad repair.
