The digital photobook chronicles the courage and resilience of the SCDF Operation Lionheart Contingent, throughout their deployment in the Türkiye-Syria Earthquake in February 2023.

This book was written to commemorate the 10th anniversary of SCDF Marine Division. In the past decade, the Division has been keeping Singapore waters safe by responding to emergencies out at sea swiftly and effectively. This book will showcase the journey of Marine Division, how she transformed from humble beginnings in 2012 to a world class marine firefighting unit, covering her history, development, capabilities and achievements. Through the book, the reader will also be able to see how our personnel, especially the pioneers, persevered and overcame their challenges to become the accomplished Mariners that they are today. Though we have achieved much over this decade, our future looks exciting as we work towards even greater excellence.
This commemorative publication chronicles the key milestones and development of the SCDF Emergency Medical Services (EMS) over the decades.
This online magazine is produced on a bi-monthly basis and features news articles and events within the SCDF. The latest and archives editions are also available.
‘REaction’, which stands for ‘REscuers in action’, is SCDF's technical publication that invoke thought provoking discussions and interesting case studies.
This book chronicles 50 years of NS in the HT, and its evolution to become the modern fighting force that the SPF and SCDF is today. The book features interesting stories from different generations of HT NS officers, from those in the 1960s to the present. The uniforms, training doctrine and equipment have changed over the years but one thing remains constant - our NS officers can be counted on to do their best when duty calls.
The CD Ready Homes Programme, a collaboration involving SCDF, National Fire and Emergency Preparedness Council (NFEC) and People's Association (PA), aims to encourage residents to take ownership and learn Civil Defence skills. Through a self-validation checklist, residents are encouraged to assess their household's level of emergency preparedness. This initiative would also help to strengthen family bonding and promote neighbourliness.
The checklist, in 4 different languages, is available for collection at fire stations, fire posts, HQ Civil Defence (CD) Divisions and Emergency Preparedness (EP) Days.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) recognises that strategic partnerships with our suppliers are critical to achieving our goal of delivering life-saving emergency services to the public. The SCDF Supplier Handbook is an initiative by us to orientate all our valued suppliers on the process of doing business with us and to promote good corporate relations with the supplier community. Specially prepared for all our valued suppliers, this Handbook provides important information and tips on doing business with the SCDF. We trust that our valued suppliers will find it useful in their dealings with us and hope to make every experience of doing business with the SCDF a pleasant and delightful one.
The Civil Defence Emergency Handbook (CDEH) is one of the primary means through which the SCDF reaches out to all segments of the population. It aims to equip our readers with essential life-saving skills in times of emergency.
The 9th edition of the CDEH incorporates developments that were implemented in recent years such as the Save-A-Life Initiative which aims to make AED more accessible to the public and the myResponder app (fire module). It also includes information
on SGSecure, a national movement to enable our community to prevent and deal with terrorism.
In addition, the latest CDEH includes tips on how to perform “hands-only CPR” without mouth-to-mouth ventilation. When performed early, “hands-only CPR” has been found to be as effective in increasing a victim’s chance of
survival as conventional CPR.
In light of the COVID-19 situation, an advisory on the use of surgical/face masks when responding to cardiac arrest cases as well as an update on the inclusion of healthcare supplies like spare surgical/face masks and sanitisers in the Ready Bag are also
included.
Other key updates include fire safety tips to prevent battery fires, and fire safety information on piped town gas and solar panel fire.
SCDF has set out a list of 10 Quality Service Indicators. Through these indicators, SCDF hopes to promote transparency and realistic expectations of our service standards to the public.
