The firefighting museum opened in 2020 in the restored premises of the old fire station in the village of Dibrivka in the Rivne region.

During Soviet times, the building was adapted for economic purposes, and for a long time it stood empty. It was restored by the joint efforts of the Emergency Department of the Rivne region and local patron Roman Stasyuk.
Now the fire station in Dibrivka has an authentic appearance. It houses a museum exposition, which presents firefighting equipment from the beginning of the 20s of the 20th century. There is an information stand nearby.
