Izstādes plakāts ar tekstu un fotogrāfiju ar ugunsdzēsējiem

On 17 May 2025, Latvia will celebrate the 160th anniversary of organized firefighting. To mark this important milestone, the Latvian Firefighting Museum is presenting a timeline of historical events tracing the development of the fire service in the territory of Latvia since 1865.

This development is divided into four key periods: firefighting during the Russian Empire (1865–1914), the Republic of Latvia (1918–1940), the Soviet era (1945–1991) and the post-independence period.

The exhibition opens on 17 May at the Latvian Firefighting Museum.
