BIRTHDAY PARTIES

The most exciting event at A FIRE ENGINE PARTY is a trip on the Fire Engine. We can pick you and your friends up from your home, a park or any location of your choice. Normally the visit lasts 45 minutes with an extension possible. The engine comes with Firefighter Rob, flashing lights, fire radio to hear all the action. Each passenger gets a "Weg's" Colouring In page and the birthday child receives a professionally printed "Junior Firefighters' Certificate and a FREE pass to the Fire Services Museum in East Melbourne. For the best party ever call Firefighter Rob and make a booking.

Young children learn about fire engines at kinder. The class does not have to leave the premises as Firefighter Rob brings his engine to you! He can carry 8 children and 2 grown ups, they are all seat belted, and go for a 5-10 minute ride. Colouring In pages drawn by "Weg" of the engine and story sheets are given to each child to take home as a memento of the day!

HOT HEN'S PARTIES

It's your last night of freedom and you will want to celebrate and remember it... Get all your friends together for some fun riding on a REAL fire engine, dressed in REAL uniforms and helmets, and a REAL firefighter to drive you around. An unusual way to arrive at a venue for further festivities, too!

SCHOOL HOLIDAY PROGRAMS

Each year organisers run out of ideas to entertain the children at the program. Children love dressing up in the uniforms, together with helmets and going for a ride or two! Book well in advance as this is a popular attraction at School Holiday Programs.

 

These are strictly the only suburbs we cover in Melbourne
(no exceptions)

Check to see if you are in our new service area:



Our K4 Pumper was in service from 1942 to 1970 and was stationed at 5 fire stations around Victoria. The body was built locally in Kavanagh Street, South Melbourne by Alf A. Mitchell Pty. Ltd. Pictured at the right is the engine turning out to a fire call from Frankston Fire Station in 1944, the other stations were Geelong, Lilydale, Watchem and Rochester.

Back before 1944 the current CFA was known as the Country Fire Brigades Board. The amidships pump produced 350 gallons of water per minute. Enjoy the thrill of riding on a 1940's open Vintage vehicle, by giving Firefighter Rob a call on 9795 0714. You wont be disappointed!

Testimonials

 

 
 

Dear Rob

Last Saturday afternoon you came to my son Thomas's 4th birthday party and gave the children rides on your vintage fire engine. I just want to say thank you so very much for your time, professionalism and caring attitude toward all of the children. Each child who went on the engine had a smile on their face for the rest of the day. My son, who is fairly quiet, has not stopped chatting about you and your engine. You made a little boy extremely happy. The adults present were similarly impressed with your rides. Thank you once again,

Kind regards, Leanne.

Dear Firefighter Rob

We cannot thank you enough for the terrific time Ben had at his third birthday party at the weekend. Children from 2 to 10 were delighted by the fire engine and the adults were tripping over themselves to get a ride too. The whole street came out to join in and I think most of Bentleigh had a ball waving to the children as they rode past. The children were so busy they did not eat piles of junky party food and as a result we had a three year old's party with 16 kids and no fights or tantrums. I cannot recommend you enough to my friends and other mothers looking for a exciting, educational and affordable Party Solution.
