Central Fire Station

One of the oldest existing fire station's in Singapore, the Central Fire Station is loaded with a rich history, massive architectural beauty and interactive tours. Bring your family for an infamous tour and become immersed in previous missions and rich Singapore service history.

This brick building dressed in red and white accents was built in 1908. Still being used today, the watchtower is now a living quarter for working firemen.

62 Hill Street Singapore, 179367

The Central Fire Station is the oldest surviving fire station in Singapore. Situated not far from the Armenian Church  and the Former Hill Street Police Station , the iconic building is a living monument to the local firefighting force.

Frequent Outbreaks of Fire

In nineteenth-century Singapore, fire outbreaks were rampant in Singapore and were a major problem for the British Administration. This was because many houses were built using flammable materials such as wood and attap, which posed a serious fire hazard. Moreover, their close proximity to one another also meant that fires could spread very quickly.

Early firefighting squads consisted of poorly trained men, including soldiers, convicts, and volunteers. It was only in 1888 that the first organised team of firefighters, the Singapore Fire Brigade, was established, and the first purpose-built fire station was constructed on Cross Street. G. P. Owen, then Secretary of the Singapore Cricket Club, was appointed the founding superintendent of the Singapore Fire Brigade.

New Era for the Singapore Fire Brigade

In 1904, a professional firefighter named Montague W. Pett arrived from England and succeeded Owen as Superintendent of the Singapore Fire Brigade. Under Pett’s leadership, the poorly trained firefighting force was transformed into a modern fire brigade. He championed the building of the Central Fire Station as he believed that a modern, well-equipped fire station was necessary for a town. Construction of the new fire station commenced at the foot of Fort Canning Hill on Hill Street in 1908.

The Central Fire Station was completed in 1909. It boasted a squad of fully motorised fire trucks which effectively replaced the outdated horse-drawn engines. The new fire engines were developed and produced by the famous London steam engine manufacturer Merryweathers & Sons. They greatly enhanced the efficiency of the local fire service in their response to emergencies.

In addition, the fire station also provided accommodation for the firefighters. Drills and exercises could be conducted on the large parade square within the compound.

Second World War

As the threat of war loomed, the British Administration formed the Auxiliary Fire Service in 1939 to strengthen the local firefighting force and to deal with any possible wartime emergencies such as air raids. The Central Fire Station’s red-and-white brickwork was painted over with camouflage paint in an attempt to conceal the building from enemy bomber pilots. Nevertheless, the fire station sustained numerous direct hits from falling bombs.

When Singapore fell to the Japanese in 1942, most of the fire brigade’s European members were marched off to Changi Prison as prisoners-of-war. Those who remained in the force carried on with their duties under the direction of Victor G. Donough, who served as Superintendent at the Central Fire Station during the Japanese Occupation (1942–1945).

Response to Emergencies

The Central Fire Station continued to function after the war. Firefighters based in this historic fire station were involved in various national emergencies and rescue operations that hit post-war and post-independent Singapore. These included the ravaging fires at Bukit Ho Swee in 1961 and the disastrous collapse of Hotel New World in 1986.

Architecture

Designed by William Ferguson, the building’s red-and-white rusticated façade is a distinctive characteristic of what is commonly known as ‘blood-and-bandage’ architecture. In the case of the Central Fire Station, this feature coincidentally and aptly underscores the firefighters’ work mission to rescue and save. The ‘blood’ points to the exposed red bricks on the façade, while the ‘bandage’ refers to the plaster layovers that are painted white. This architectural style was popularised during the Edwardian era (1901–1910).

Another outstanding feature of the fire station is its impressive lookout tower, which rises to a height of about 110 feet (34 metres). A fireman was always stationed in the tower to spot any outbreaks of fire in the vicinity. Flanked by twin cupolas, a triangular pediment bearing the monogram of the Singapore Fire Brigade fronts the façade’s midsection. Behind the row of bright red shutter doors are fire engines and rescue vehicles on standby for activation.

Central Fire Station Today

In 2001, the Civil Defence Heritage Gallery located in the station was opened to the public. Its exhibits provide visitors with insights into the history of the firefighting force in Singapore from its humble beginnings to the established force that it is today.

The Central Fire Station is still operational today and serves an area covering the Central Business District and Chinatown.

Our National Monuments

Our National Monuments are an integral part of Singapore’s built heritage, which the National Heritage Board (NHB) preserves and promotes for posterity. They are monuments and sites that are accorded the highest level of protection in Singapore.

• abdelrahman7t1 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Thrilling Gun Shooting Tour Everything went smoothly starting from the booking process until finishing the tour. Although I had to cancel my first appointment and rebook for another day, but everything was arranged comfortably. It was great having Andrew as my guide, in addition to his fluent English, he is punctual, polite and well informed about all details. He would use every single moment to make sure that everything is going as planned and he was always prepared to provide assistance whenever required. We took the metro from my hotel to the shooting range, everything was properly organized. By the time we arrived to the shooting center, the crew were not ready yet to start (waited 15 minutes), however, Andrew made sure to make use of this time via explaining some of the safety measures and guide lines in order not to waste this time in our time slot and to make sure I enjoy every bit of it and focus on just shooting. It was my first time shooting guns, but I still received the necessary training and instructions from the instructors in addition to the usual assistance by my guide Andrew. In conclusion, I enjoyed the whole experience and would definitely recommend it to gun shooting lovers. Read more Written November 29, 2021

• Frequent_Flyer1978 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles The absolute best experience we have ever had I’m being factual (as opposed to melodramatic) when I say I have never ever had an experience like visiting the monastery with our guide, Sergei, from Put-in Tours. This review will cover both the monastery and the guide. The monastery is a bit of a drive but it’s not too far from Moscow’s city center. There are a few basic rules like no eating or drinking, no smoking on the premises, no selfies or disrespectful photos. Obviously, this is an active place of worship with monks and pupils live and pray so visitors have to be perfectly respectful regardless of their own beliefs. Keep in mind that the monastery is obliging visitors simply because they need the income to operate the magnificent facility. One thing to add here, we are Muslim and my wife wears hijab but we never felt unwelcome. The tour basically covers the history of the churches in cathedrals in the complex including the interior where you get a wealth of information about the ancient history of the buildings as well as the Soviet era when religions were banned and churches closed, sabotaged or demolished as well as recent history following the fall of communism and the lifting of religious restrictions. One particularly interesting aspect in this part of the tour is the climb up to the bell tower through extremely steep and narrow stairs but the view is more than worth the climb. Following this, you will be seated in a section of the monks dining hall. An apprentice will greet you and say prayers before you sit for a full meal that includes 2 salads, soup, main course, desert and traditional tea. The apprentice will come after the meal and offer to answer any questions you may have about the monastery. We were expected to spend 10 minutes max during this question and answer part but we spent almost an hour and left with many questions but we were ashamed to have kept the apprentice awake so late when he certainly must wake up in the early morning to prepare food for the monks. A quick walk through the monastery follows with brief history of other structures that were added at later stages to the monastery complex. Now, my favorite part of this review: the guide. We were blissfully lucky to have had Sergei from Put-in Tours. I wouldn’t know about other guides but Sergei was far, far beyond great. For lack of a better word, he was a gift from god. He knew practically everything about the history of the place and whatever he didn’t know he didn’t pretend to know and give us false information but rather he asked the monastery staff and got a full answer. He spoke fluent English (very rare in Moscow where virtually no one speaks English let alone speaks good English). On the ride in and out he was extremely friendly, sparked good conversations and was incredibly accommodating even though we over stayed the schedule by at least an hour. He translated instantly during the monk apprentice questions session and he even filled in the gaps when we had nothing to ask or say. My wife and I whispered to each other a few times “wow he is really a great guy”. We had some doubts about Put-in Tours (there was a bit of confusion earlier and plans were changed on short notice) but I confidently say Sergei was the best guide we’ve ever met in all our travels through the entirety of the Middle East, south east Asia, Europe and America. Words simply cannot describe our gratitude and appreciation. Overall, this is an absolute must-go in Moscow. I rate it 10/10. Read more Written September 30, 2021

Andrew was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and fun to talk to! He gave us just the right amount of insight about the Russian culture, Banya, and the life of Sergiev Possad. He did not bombard us with a history lesson. Anton was extremely skillfully and knowledgeable as well. Banya is a great experience and highly recommended to travellers looking to do something offbeat while in Moscow. All in all, it was a great experience. Much recommended! 👍🏽 Read more Written September 2, 2021
• Beardy96521 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Can only be recommended! Awesome Experience!!! We drove on a BMP-1 Soviet Tank, shot a RPG-22,AK-47 and an SKS-45. I threw a grenade at an Armored vehicle and wore an WW2 era Soviet Helmet during the whole thing. We were allowed to handle Soviet Weapons like Mosin Nagants, SKS-45, Markarov pistols or AK47s. Everybody was very nice and friendly. In the Museum we got to see a wide variety of rare tanks like a German King Tiger or Soviet Su-100Y, outside a lot of Soviet Tanks and Aircraft can be seen. I also tested an T-80 tank driving simulator, it was a lot of fun. The whole experience lasted an entire day and everybody was very happy at the end. Can only be recommended!

• F2186TVkevinl 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles The best of Moscow with the best of tour guides! Really enjoyed this tour. Sergei and Katya were my guides and they were fantastic! We went to all the major sights in Moscow and I was given good information about what I was seeing. Any question I wanted answered they knew. Because time wasn’t a consideration, they even added a few stops just to make my experience more enjoyable. I would recommend this company to anybody I know. The door to door hotel pickup is also awesome. Read more Written June 22, 2021
