The museum will showcase IFD’s black history dating back to the 1870’s. It will display uniforms and community efforts and have an area to honor fallen firefighters.
INDIANAPOLIS — Corey Floyd grew up right around the corner from Fire Station 31 off of East 46th Street.
Floyd now works inside the building as the president of the Black Firefighters Association. He's also been a firefighter with IFD for the last 19 years and is building a museum inside the old station that showcases IFD's black history dating back to the 1870's. "These four guys that blazed the trail for African Americans, like myself, to come on the job and be firefighters," said Floyd."You can’t be what you can’t see. It’s a great opportunity for youth and others of that nature to be able to come and see themselves — See people that thrived in a profession that is honorable," said Floyd.
The city's Office of Equity of Inclusion says departments are always working to increase those numbers.
