FRV at community events and festivals
FRV firefighters attend many community and cultural festivals and events to promote community safety.
If you’d like to request our attendance at an upcoming event, please contact us.
Fire station visits
A community group may be able to visit an FRV fire station.
Visits, when possible, are normally to larger fire stations on pre-arranged dates and times.
Please contact FRV.
Enquires will be directed to the Community Safety and Engagement Commander of the relevant District or Region.
Another option is for groups to book their attendance at a Fire Station Display in their local district (see below).
Fire station displays
Want to meet our firefighters, view a fire truck up close, and learn about fire safety?
At our larger fire stations, FRV hosts demonstrations for schools and other community groups.
Firefighters cover basic fire safety and show how they use specialised rescue equipment.
These sessions are free and take one hour.
Bookings are essential as numbers are limited and demonstrations may not take place on public holidays.
