The fire appliances in the museum are fragile but the ones we will have outside in the courtyard and at the Station are not. This is a day for everyone who wants to get up close and inside some appliances!

The firefighting crew at McDonald Road Community Fire Station will be onsite to show you their appliance, run some drills, answer questions and just have some fun!

Ticketed entry slots are every 30 mins, the last entry is 2:30pm, the museum and site will close at 3:30pm. Please select a ticket for each person attending with you. This includes babies (if you are bringing a pram/stroller).

Please note this is a free, but ticketed events.
