Educational Tour - Part 4 - Fire Station Heritage Tour

Everything has a history; there is always a start (and end). Fire Station Heritage Tour introduces to the public the beginning of Singapore Civil Defense.

Fire Station Heritage Tour is a fully guided tour where the station master will narrates the beginning of the volunteer fire fighting corps all the way to the current Civil defense organization structure.

With the Fire Station Heritage, we can view and touch replicas of the fire fighting engines used in the bygones days. This include man-powered fire engines (the engines were pulled by hands), horse powered and steam powered engines.

The guide will show us the use of animals (dogs) in aiding us when looking for survivals in collapse buildings, using special mobile tents to clean chemical contamination and how to detect life under concrete using some electronics equipments.
