Old Perth Fire Station

The Old Perth Central Fire Station, opened in 1901, is a heritage-listed building located at the intersection of Murray and Irwin Streets in Perth, Western Australia. Designed by architect Michael Cavanagh in the Romanesque Revival style, this two-storey limestone structure served as the first purpose-built fire station in the region until 1979. Today, it houses the Department of Fire and Emergency Services Heritage Centre, showcasing a museum filled with historic documents and vintage emergency vehicles. The building's architectural significance and its role in the history of Western Australia's fire services make it a fascinating destination for tourists and researchers alike.
