The North Charleston Fire Museum and Educational Center is a fire museum in North Charleston, South Carolina, displaying a collection of fire fighting vehicles dating back to the 1780s.

Established in 2007 by the city of North Charleston, the museum is a popular rainy day activity for tourists.
Retired and active firefighters from the area provide tours for groups and area available to answer questions about the equipment and fire safety.[3] Other exhibits include a 4-D film on the history of firefighting, robotic presentation on fire dangers in the home and a small playground area with a fire-pole and slide.
The Fire Museum is a stop on the route for some shuttle buses that operate between Charleston and its airport.
