Imagine life as a firefighter and help us celebrate the 125th anniversary of the modern fire and rescue service in Western Australia with a visit to the heritage-listed Perth Central Fire Station.

Family friendly highlights over the weekend include:

·       Exploring the first fire station in the city of Perth

·       Trying on a brass helmet and dressing-up as a firefighter

·       Meeting iconic 1990s mascot Freddy the Fire Truck

·       Playing a trick on the balcony with Igor the Spider

·       Making your very own Igor the Spider to take home

·       Striking a pose from a page in our 1905 souvenir book

·       Taking a ride around the block in a vintage fire truck

We look forward to seeing your family on the station!
