SA Metropolitan Fire Service (MFS) Station Open Day | Adelaide | 2 Nov 2024

The SA Metropolitan Fire Service (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.
