Full description
Under Section 13 of the Fire Brigades Act 1909, the properties of the Wollongong Fire Brigade Board were vested in the Board of Fire Commissioners (1). In 1910 the Board of Fire Commissioners purchased land at the corner of Market and Church Streets, and a fire station was erected there in 1914. This land was sub-divided, and two allotments were sold in 1924 and 1928 (2).
In 2000 the Station was located at 32 Denison Street, Wollongong (3). Wollongong Fire Station is sometimes known as Station No. 503.
