SA Metropolitan Fire Service (MFS) Open Day in Adelaide
The MFS will open the doors to the Adelaide Fire Station on Wakefield Street straight after the National Pharmacies Christmas Pageant allowing families to explore the fire station and enjoy a range of fun activities.
Have you or your kids ever wanted to explore a real fire station? Or sit in a real fire truck and see what it looks like inside?!
Join the MFS for some family fun as they roll up the doors to South Australia’s biggest fire station from 11am on Saturday, 4 November 2023.

Highlights include:
- Meet and talk to real MFS firefighters and other emergency services workers
