The brand new Mount Druitt Fire Station was officially opened today by the Minister for Emergency Services Troy Grant and Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) Commissioner Paul Baxter, ushering in a new era of firefighting in Sydney’s west.
The $3 million facility replaces the old station, which had served the people of Mount Druitt and surrounding communities for almost 50 years.
Mr Grant said the station’s modern facilities would boost FRNSW firefighters’ ability to protect the local community.
“Mount Druitt and the broader Western Sydney community continues to grow and expand and it’s important that our firefighters are positioned in the best possible location to ensure a quick and efficient response when a fire breaks out,” Mr Grant said.
“The NSW Government is providing our firefighters with the best possible facilities and equipment, so they can get on with the job they do best – protecting lives and property.
“The NSW Liberal & Nationals Government is committed to ensuring those working on the frontline stand ready to answer the call when the community is in need and the residents of NSW should feel confident our fireys have the tools they need to do their important work.”
Completed in December 2017, the new station includes a double engine bay, improved training facilities, fitness room and separate male/female amenities.
Commissioner Baxter said the Mount Druitt Fire Station was relocated to the new site to improve FRNSW’s emergency response and firefighting capability in Western Sydney.
“The greatly improved working environment provides firefighters with the facilities they need to ensure they are prepared for anything, anywhere, anytime,” he said.
“The new station will ensure we meet the evolving needs of the local community and continue to provide the best possible service to the people of Western Sydney.”
Member for Mulgoa Tanya Davies said she was proud to be part of a government that is investing in Western Sydney, and most importantly in the safety of the local community.
“This new state-of-the-art station provides the very best in equipment for our firefighting heroes and will serve our community now and into the future,” Mrs Davies said.
