Fire & Rescue NSW is holding its annual Open Day on Saturday 14 May 2022 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).
Kids will be able to see a fire truck, demonstrations and firefighting equipment whilst the grown-ups will be able to find out more about home fire safety.
