Fire Stations across the county regularly open their doors to the public. This gives Surrey residents an insight into the activities of their local fire station.
These events are a great opportunity to see the range of activities involved with being a modern firefighter, to learn about our crews, see our fire engines, and learn about fire safety!
Events will be publicised on our social media channels, follow Surrey Fire and Rescue Service on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or Nextdoor for the most up to date information.
