The Ulladulla station will be taking part in a statewide open day from 10am to 2pm at their base in 46 Nurrawallee Street, Ulladulla.
It promises to be an event all members of the community can enjoy.
There will be a range of free activities including firefighting demonstrations, station tours and safety presentations.
Families can also see fire trucks and firefighting and rescue equipment up close and chat to local firefighters about the critical work they do to keep communities safe.
FRNSW Commissioner, Paul Baxter said the open day was an opportunity to show people that FRNSW firefighters do so much more than fight fires.
"Our firefighters fight fires and save people from burning buildings, but our mission and our capabilities extend far beyond fire response," he said.
"From road crashes, hazardous material incidents and natural disasters to urban search and rescue and humanitarian relief, our firefighters are prepared for anything and ready to help anyone, anytime, anywhere."

Commissioner Baxter said the open day was also a great time to talk to the experts about home fire safety in the lead up to winter.
"We see a 10 per cent increase in the number of home fires during the winter months, with more fires start in bedrooms and living rooms due to things like heaters and electric blankets," he said.
"Come and meet the team that's prepared for anything on Open Day and learn how to keep your family safe from fire and other emergencies."
