Fire & Rescue NSW is holding its annual Open Day on Saturday 10 May 2025 from 10am – 2pm. This is an opportunity to visit your local fire station, get up close to a fire truck and chat with local firefighters to learn more about what they do every day. (Fire & Rescue NSW is Australia’s busiest fire and rescue service).
We’ve just updated our list of stations below as there have been last-minute changes to participating stations.
Kids will be able to see a fire truck, see specialised firefighting equipment whilst the grown-ups will be able to find out more about home fire safety.
