A visit here will delight youngsters who want to grow up to be fire-fighters. The orginal headquarters of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade now houses a display showing the history of fire fighting in Melbourne. Adults too will be interested in the horse drawn manual fire pumps and the old uniforms, helmets and fire engines. The nearby Eastern Hill Fire Station is open to the public 10:30a to 11a on Fridays. This is a display of state-of-the-art fire trucks. Here children can climb on the trucks and see the equipment in action.
