Central Fire Station, Singapore, Fire station and national monument on Hill Street, Singapore
The Central Fire Station features a distinctive three-story red brick building with white plaster bands and a 32-meter watchtower overlooking the city.
Constructed in 1908 at a cost of 64,000 dollars, this station replaced temporary facilities and introduced motorized fire engines to replace horse-drawn vehicles.
The Civil Defence Heritage Gallery within the station presents collections of antique fire engines and equipment documenting Singapore's firefighting development since 1888.
Located opposite Funan mall, the station maintains active operations serving the Central Business District while allowing public visits to its heritage gallery.
The watchtower of Central Fire Station held the position of Singapore's highest observation point through the 1920s, enabling fire detection across the city.
