WA Fire & Rescue Service – Ellenbrook Station

August 16, 2013 – 10:00 am

Ellenbrook Fire Station is one of FRSWA’s newest stations, built as a result of the significant residential development of the Ellenbrook area. Until its opening the area was covered by West Swan BFS along with Midland, Malaga and Wangara FRS Stations. The presence of this station dramatically reduces response times into the Ellenbrook, Vines and surrounding areas, as well as out of area to the north.
