Looks like fun. Are they open to visitors on an ad hoc basis. I'm in CT over Christmas and would love to get some pics. Anyone have directions ?

Newlands fire base is off the M3 signposted as Wildfire Services. You can see the helicopters on the helipad. Go there over a weekend or public holiday ( 13h00 to 18h00 )when the volunteer standby team is on duty and say hi, sure they would be happy to show you around. Easy to spot when on duty yellow land rover parked in front of the buildingMistral wrote:Looks like fun.
