The Minns Labor Government today officially unveiled the new-look Moss Vale fire station, following a $2 million upgrade to strengthen emergency services in the Southern Highlands.
The refurbishment fulfils an election commitment and provides the station’s firefighters with modern facilities, more than 50 years after it was first built in 1971.
The works increase the safety and capability of the station, including enhancements to accommodate larger fire fighting vehicles.
Key improvements at the Moss Vale station include:
- An extension of the rear of the station and engine bay to accommodate large, modern fire trucks.
- A new building to accommodate the station’s bushfire tanker.
- Better equipment storage rooms improving safety for crews, including new personal protective clothing room, breathing apparatus storeroom and laundry facilities.
- New locker rooms, bathrooms and kitchen facilities.
This financial year the Government is investing $98.5 million to keep people safe and better serve the community with upgraded fire stations and new firefighting fleet.
The Minns Labor Government is delivering on its long-term plan to rebuild our essential services by investing in physical infrastructure and in the frontline workers who deliver the services the people of NSW need.
Work continues to upgrade and build new fire stations across NSW, including new stations at Badgerys Creek, Broken Hill, Byron Bay, Charlestown, Goonellabah, Lithgow and Wentworthville.
