Up until 1990 the Orielton Volunteer Fire Brigade operated out of the Sorell Station in Station Lane near the old Sorell Council works yard, Orielton were the original Sorell Rural Fire Brigade covering an area from Dunalley to somewhere around Black Charlie's opening. The station sign on the wall actually has Orielton Volunteer Fire Brigade on one side and Sorell Rural Fire Brigade on the other.
Since this time Orielton has had it's own volunteer fire station
