General

Embark on a tour of the past and walk down the memory lane of how the fire fighting and rescue technology have progressed throughout the years. The customised interactive stations invite you for a close-up experience of what fire fighters and rescuers undergo in an operation.

The building which houses the gallery was built in 1908 and is a National Monument. Visiting the gallery provides you an opportunity to learn about Singapore's colonial past and the significance of the building in the past.

You may have heard about Civil Defence in the newspaper or over the television. Over at the gallery, you can know more about SCDF operational capability, sit in the fire engine on display and check out the fire fighters suits and rescue equipment.

History will repeat itself if precautionary measures are not taken. In the gallery, you will relive the moments of two major fires which happened in Singapore. One of the fires, the Bukit Ho Swee fire, resulted in the launch of public housing scheme by HDB to provide everyone with safer living conditions.
