Call 6848 1519 to make a booking if visiting with a group size greater than 10.

Our take on this place:
Great fun for kids (and the accompanying "overgrown kids"!)
Educational tour of the Fire Station's Control Room.
Watch impressive live demos and get some real hands-on experience with their vehicles and equipment.
Hear first hand accounts from fire-fighters about their job - the risks, thrills and challenges that come with a career in fire-fighting and rescue.
Get to ride on the Light Fire Attack Vehicle (LFAV, like what you see in picture above), fondly nicknamed the Red Rhino; and the larger fire engines that most of us are more familiar with.
To add to the excitement, kids get to bring home a lightweight plastic replica of their tough-as-nails fireman helmet! For the adults, if you want to wear it, am sure you can request it too.
(Wish we could bring home the fire-fighters too, but tough luck.)
Plenty of photo opportunities.
