Families were given the opportunity to explore the station, try on firefighting gear and learn about fire safety and prevention.

As always, the kitchen fire simulator proved popular as firefighters portrayed the effects of water being poured on an oil fire. 

Firefighters also provided practical advice on installing or replacing smoke alarms as well as preparing a home fire escape plan. 

All children took home a ‘Brigade Kids’ activity booklet, filled with important fire safety messages. 

The event coincided with Fire and Rescue NSW’s (FRNSW) campaigns to “keep looking when cooking” and awareness of winter fire dangers.
