Twickenham Fire Station opens its doors this Sunday for a family day
3 September 2026 · By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.
Twickenham Fire Station is holding a public open day on Sunday 6 September, and families with children are especially welcome to come along.
Visitors will get the chance to meet local firefighters, take a close look at fire and rescue equipment, and pick up practical fire-safety advice — the kind of guidance that is genuinely useful to have in the household. There will also be activities laid on specifically for children, making it a solid weekend outing for families.
Although the station is in Twickenham, it serves a wide area of the borough and events like this are a rare opportunity to see behind the scenes and meet the crews who respond to local emergencies. Fire-safety advice from professionals — covering everything from smoke alarm placement to kitchen fire prevention — is always worth an hour of a Saturday morning, and the setting makes it considerably more engaging than a leaflet.
No booking details have been published; the event appears to be a drop-in. It is worth checking with the station directly if you plan to travel specifically for it. Richmond Council open day announcement
