The firehouse from Bedlno is the only object in the Museum which can be visited in the Podlasie sector. It is a wooden, wide front with a felt-covered roof. It does not have an observation tower. The interior consists of two rooms: a club-room with a stage and a room to store fire brigade equipment. The firehouse was built circa 1930-1932 for the Volunteer Fire Association in Bedlno. A building work was supervised by a local carpenter Jan Zdziebłowski. Bales and benches were brought from a poplar logging situated near a highroad from Borki to Wola Osowińska. Stanisław Ośmiałowski, a landlord form Żabikowo gave the other part of wood. The exhibition reconstructs the situation form 1936 when the fire brigade in Bedlno consisted of 18-20 firemen, Julian Jeruzalski was a chief and Konstanty Ochnio was a chairman. At that time the Volunteer Fire Department in Bedlno owned one fire pump (which was transported with a horse-drawn cart), a water cart, about 6 meters of suction hoses and about 60 meters of pressure hoses. There was also other equipment such as: 4 buckets, 5 fire hooks, 1 ladder, 1 fire flapper and a dozen of uniforms with brass helmets.
