Open Day
Where: At your local fire station
When: Sunday 3rd May 2009
Time: 10:00am - 2:00pm
The NSW Fire Brigades (NSWFB) will hold its annual Open Day on Sunday 3 May 2009 and fire stations across the state will open their doors and give visitors a personal glimpse into Australia's largest fire and rescue service.
Open Day marks the culmination of Fire Prevention Week where the NSWFB will call on residents to assess their fire safety arrangements and prepare for the most dangerous time of year for house fires.
As part of Fire Prevention Week, fire stations across NSW will be arranging a number of events for their local communities and high risk groups, such as the elderly, to remind them of simple steps they can take to prevent house fires this winter.
Among the attractions for this year's Open Day include fire safety demonstrations, fire station tours and the chance to inspect firefighting equipment used by our firefighters when responding to fires and other emergencies.
Visitors can also speak to firefighters first hand about ways to install and maintain smoke alarms and how to develop a home escape plan to ensure they can quickly and safely escape a fire.
For more information on the Open Day event in your community, contact your local fire station to find out what activities they have in store for the day. Locate your nearest fire station here.
