Sat 12 Apr 2025

Get ready for a day packed with heritage, hands-on history, and a sprinkle of mischief as the heritage-listed Perth Central Fire Station as part of the City of Perth’s Boorloo Heritage Festival.

On Saturday 12 April, you will have the unique opportunity to explore the first fire station in the City of Perth where firefighters lived and worked over 100 years ago

There will be lots of fun activities on the day and best of all, everything is FREE!

Look forward to:

Gear up as a firefighter & try on a brass helmet

Meet the legendary ’90s mascot, Freddy the Fire Truck

Prank from the balcony with our sneaky eight-legged friend, Igor the Spider

Craft your own Igor to take home (no spider wrangling required!)

Romping, bouncing, and galloping in the old horse paddock

Climb your way to victory in our giant game of Ropes & Ladders

Battle it out in a family-friendly game of tug-of-war

Strike a vintage pose straight from our 1905 souvenir book

Wander around our neighbourhood with our I Spy Trail

Meet real firefighters and compare their modern fire trucks with our vintage ones

Finish up with a ride around the block in a vintage fire truck

Meeting Freddy the Fire Truck

Bonus: All families who register can pickup a free Be Safe in an Emergency kids activity book! Picking a time slot helps us plan - stay as long as you like, but mornings are busiest!
