This is a broad, mostly single-storey building, with four Fire-Truck sized bays, with brown-painted, and glass paneled articulated 'Tilt-a-Doors', opening onto a large concrete forecourt. At the back is a tall tower, for the hanging and drying of used hoses, and probably for exercises as well.

There are a couple of plastic water tanks at the side of the Fire Station, probably for extra reserves. On the eastern of the complex is what appears to be the Office for the Station.

There is also a brass Bell a couple of metres off the ground, out the front of the four bay building, on the western end. (It does NOT appear to be functional)
