Portadown Volunteer Fire Brigade helmet 1906.

This helmet is the type which would have been worn by the Portadown Volunteer Fire Brigade in the early twentieth century. It is made of metal and was nickel plated. It has a comb on top and a leather strap which would have fitted below the chin. The decoration on the front of the helmet is made of brass. The badge consists of two hoses, two axes with a flame in the middle. The museum collection also contains a fireman's whistle and the town fire bell from Portadown.
