Central Fire Station

The red and white Central Fire Station located at 62 Hill Street is opened to the public on every Saturday from 9am to 11am.   It houses a watchtower and living quarters for firemen.

During the open house, public can ride on an engine and take pictures with the Red Rhinos (a smaller version of the fire truck) and the firemen.

My boys love climbing in and out of the fire trucks.



















There are staff to educate on the operations within a fire station.   The real fire fighters are there to take pictures with the visitors.

Next door is the Civil Defence Heritage Gallery which opens from 10am to 5pm from Tuesday to Sunday.   It is a mini fire-fighting museum housing old trucks and equipment, plus interactive games and activities on the second level.

The old telephone.   Png Png likes to play with the telephone.

The fire engine of the good old days...
Many children enjoy climbing up this old fire engine.
 



 
Public can learn how to operate a hose (through putting out an animated fire).
