The city of Jacksonville posted this image on social media of the Jacksonville Fire Museum pulling into its new site near the imploded Berkman Plaza II condominium tower.

Work to finish installing the Jacksonville Fire Museum on the foundation at its new home at 620 E. Bay St., the future Shipyards West Park, will take until late August, according to the city.

The city Public Affairs Office said in an email Wednesday that there is no official date to reopen the museum, but it will be at least several months before work and repairs to the facility are complete.

Hygema House Movers Inc. completed the half-mile relocation of the early-1900s building March 27, from the former Kids Kampus at 1406 Gator Bowl Blvd.
