 Hill Street Fire Station
This station is Singapore's oldest fire station. It is distinguished by its lively façade of exposed red bricks and white plaster bands, and its bright red garage doors that open into the street.Built between 1908 and 1909 to house the Singapore Fire Brigade, the building symbolises Singapore’s first step towards establishing modern fire-fighting facilities. Today, it houses the Singapore Civil Defence Force with its state-of-the- art fire-fighting equipment. The station is open to the public on Saturday mornings.built in 1908 for s$64'000, this is the oldest existing fire station in singapore and when opened it signalled the end of horse-drawn firecarts. dotted with classical arches and columns, the building has been preserved and recently restored perfectly and is still used today. |
