Civil Defence Heritage Gallery

"The Civil Defence Heritage Gallery in Singapore presents an immersive journey through the evolution of firefighting and civil defense in Singapore, starting from the late 1800s to today. Set within the iconic Central Fire Station, one of Singapore’s oldest and most architecturally significant buildings, the gallery serves as both a historical tribute to the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) and a public educational initiative. Exhibits within the gallery include an extensive collection of vintage fire engines, firefighting equipment, and protective gear. Visitors can also explore interactive simulations, showcasing emergency response techniques and advances in fire safety technology, offering insight into how the SCDF protects Singapore’s citizens. The Central Fire Station, where the gallery is located, was constructed in 1909 and is a striking example of colonial architecture. Its distinctive red-and-white brick façade, designed in an "eclectic classicism" style, features arched windows and an ornate watchtower that once served as a vantage point for spotting fires across Singapore. The station was fully operational during World War II and bore witness to major historical events, making it a central part of Singapore's heritage. The building has been carefully preserved and was gazetted as a national monument in 1998, allowing visitors to admire its architectural details while learning about civil defense history. Through the gallery and its iconic setting, visitors can connect with Singapore’s civic history and appreciate the evolving role of civil defense in Singaporean society."
