ANZAC Day 2026

The Port Hedland Fire and Rescue Service were honoured to attend the local ANZAC Day Service alongside South Hedland Volunteer Fire & Rescue and our community.

This was an opportunity to come together, reflect, and pay our respects to those who have served and sacrificed for our country.

We are incredibly proud of the turn out to yesterday’s service, and the respect shown throughout the service. It was a powerful reminder of the mateship and support that exists within our town.

Lest We Forget.
