Community Fire Station manned by retained volunteers. It stands almost across the High Street from the entrance to Flinders Park. The platform seen above the roof used to carry the 'buzzer', which was a former air raid siren used to alert the firemen of their required attendance, this method of alarm has now been replaced by the personal alert bleepers. What also has changed is that the once familiar sight of abandoned bicycles, wheels and pedals still spinning, has now been replaced by all modes of motor transport seemingly abandoned, doors wide open as the 'Shout' is answered.
