The Fire Museum of Memphis will reopen Friday. The museum has been closed since mid-February when more than 40 pipes burst during a snow and ice storm. “The majority of the damage was in the old fire station #1 where over 40 pipes burst in February,” said Kimberly Crafton, executive director of the museum. “We have replaced both restrooms on the second floor, and electronics in the E-one and Ambulance exhibits. We have also sent Ol Billy on vacation to Florida for a little refreshing.” For three months, crews have been hard at work removing the damage and fixing things. Many exhibits have been renovated. The grand opening will be at 9:30 a.m.
