Byron Bay residents and visitors are invited to attend a community Open Day for the Byron Bay Fire Station on Saturday, 9 May, held in the park opposite the Beach Hotel, Byron Bay.
Firefighters will be on hand to share vital home fire safety advice and raise awareness about the growing risks associated with lithium batteries.
‘You will be able to tour a working fire truck, get up close with specialist emergency equipment, and watch live demonstrations showcasing how crews respond to real-life incidents,’ said a spokesperson for Byron Bay Fire & Rescue NSW.
Firefighters will also be available to answer questions about fire prevention, emergency preparedness, and the important role they play in keeping the community safe.
The Open Day is free and a chance to connect with local firefighters and gain practical safety knowledge.
