  Singapore’s oldest fire station, Central Fire Station celebrates its 100^th year of operation this year. Being part of Singapore’s early history, Central Fire Station has undergone transformations and stayed relevant throughout the years. Located along the bustling Hill Street, the station’s iconic presence in the heart of the city serves as a reminder of the key role it plays in keeping Singapore’s Central Business District safe from fires and other emergencies.

   

  To commemorate the history and contributions of the station, the SCDF will be organising a one-month long centenary celebration that includes decorating the front façade of the station with LED coloured lights. The launch on 1st Sep 09 at 7.00 pm at the Central Fire Station will be graced by Mr K Shanmugam, Minister for Law and Second Minister for Home Affairs.

   

  Let's all of us wish SCDF Central Fire Station "Happy 100th Birthday"
