The day is all about learning fire safety especially how a working smoke alarm can help save lives this winter.
Many fire stations across NSW will be open from 10.00am to 2.00pm with a range of free activities including firefighting demonstrations, station tours and safety presentations.
Families can also see the fire trucks and firefighting and rescue equipment up close and chatto local firefighters about the simple steps they can take to 'be fire safe'.
Local fire stations that will be open include Lithgow West, Wallerawang, Oberon, Kelso and Kandos Fire Stations.
