“We will do some live demonstrations to show them our skills,” he said.

“We will put on a sausage sizzle for gold coin donation.

“We have bush fire information that people want – they can ask questions, ask for advice.”

With the bush fire season due to start in December unless conditions prompt an earlier start, Mr Young said people should be looking at firebreaks now to ensure they were clear.

He said they should also cut down overgrown plants around their properties and check gutters were clear.

Mr Young said the brigade had 18 volunteers and shared station facilities with Two Rocks SES Unit, a bush fire cadet unit for 11 to 16-year-olds and Two Rocks Yanchep Emergency Scouts.

He said the open day would give people an opportunity to see their facilities, which have included addition of a training room and change room facilities as well as recent installation of security fencing and tarmac in the parking area.
