Old Perth Fire Station
Old Perth Fire Station, Heritage site in Australia
The Old Perth Fire Station is now a museum dedicated to firefighting history in the city. The building houses historical equipment and vehicles that show how firefighters worked and lived.
Built in 1901, it was the first purpose-built fire station in Perth and became an important part of the city's growth. The building witnessed major changes in firefighting techniques and the city's expanding urban needs.
The building reflects how Perth organized firefighting and valued this public service throughout its growth. Visitors can sense the importance this institution held for the city's development.
The location is easy to find and offers accessible entry to the exhibits inside. It is helpful to allow time to explore the different rooms and displays at your own pace.
The building served as both a fire station and living quarters for firefighters and their families. This combination makes it a rare example of early Australian firefighting community life under one roof.
