Never pour water on an oil fire was a lesson learned by all the visitors of the Stratford Fire Station Jubilee Open Day on Saturday morning.
Senior station officer Brent Rawlinson says about 300 people attended the open day to help the Stratford Brigade celebrate 125 years of service.
"We were absolutely rapt with the support from the community, it was great to see so many families come along to check out the displays and help us celebrate on Saturday."
Visitors had the opportunity to enjoy a range of antique fire engines, play on the interactive displays and watch live fire safety demonstrations.
Brent says the kitchen fire demonstration, which included a blazing oil fire, caught the attention of all the visitors. The crowd was also treated to a live rescue of a driver and passengers from a car crash.
