Overview
Located on Central Avenue is the newly restored African American Firefighters Museum. Because of segregation laws, African-Americans were required to work in separate fire stations and Fire Station No. 30 was one of the two in Los Angeles where African Americans were allowed to work in the early part of the 20th century. Today the first station is a museum that is home to exhibits depicting the lives and experiences of African Americans who have fought fires in Los Angeles from 1897 to the present day. Admission is free.
