The collection targets include firefighting vehicles, firefighting-related literature, books, photographs, items, clothing, equipment, and donations of any size or type, including small badges, are accepted.

Anyone from the public can participate in donations, and donors will receive special honors and benefits such as issuance of donation certificates, invitations to various important events and exhibition openings, and inclusion of donor names in the Hall of Fame.
