Fire station open day

Umina Fire Station will be open to the public as part of the Fire and Rescue NSW annual Open Day on Saturday, May 20.

Most fire stations across NSW will be open from 10am to 2pm and families are encouraged to come along and meet their local firefighters and learn more about fire prevention.

Commissioner Mr Paul Baxter said a range of free activities would be on offer, including firefighting demonstrations, station tours and fire safety presentations.

"Children will be able to see the fire engines and firefighting equipment up close, always a highlight of this much-anticipated day.

"Firefighters will also be able to provide advice on installing or replacing smoke alarms, and preparing a home fire escape plan," he said.
