The Museum is also the leading fire safety education facility in the country, so not only will you have fun exploring the history of fire fighting but you will also learn what to do if there is a fire or you catch fire.

Themes covered by the museum are bushfires, dialling 000, burn prevention and treatment, and fire fighting since the early days of European settlement with fire engines and fire fighting equipment used since then on display including the original switch room from fire headquarters in Sydney.
