Civil Defense ; Fighters


When the topic of the NE assignment was released ,the first location that came into my mind was the Civil Defense Heritage Gallery . The Heritage was built since 1908 and is housed in the Central Fire Station . The Gallery itself had recorded the history of the Singapore Civil Defense Force journey since the late 1800s .
The Heritage is to aim to raise the public awareness of Civil Defense .

In the Gallery , it showcases the developments of the old equipments , engines , and firefighter trucks all the way to what the SCDF had in the modern days now . It also , provides richful information about how people are evacuated and what are the ways to keep them safe during emergency situations , both past and presents .

It was an interesting Gallery to visit to as there are a lot of equipments and from the olden days and from there , knowing how much the Civil Defense Force had changed over the years . If I had not remembered wrongly , the very first time that I visited this place was during one of my primary school days and we had this amazing race and we had to find this building .The first thing that caught my attention was the architecture of the building . Back then , I don't remember seeing such an interesting building or heritage before , probably that's the reason why I would still remember this building after so long even I don't visit such heritage as often as compared to the rest of the museums or heritage in Singapore .

Last but not lest , I thought that for those who had not been there or would like to see the interesting gallery once again , should go and visit this place sometime during any free time ! (: It's good to know more of the Civil Defense histories and learn more about the methods that could save us during emergency situations ! In addition , it is also good to visit such heritage and museums , to realise and remind ourselves how much efforts was put in by our forefathers and people in the past whom served for the Defense Forces which had definately helped to protect our nation better . Finally , through this heritage , it helps to heighten the public awareness and knowledge of Civil Defense ! 

PS . And oh , ADMISSION IS FREEEEE ! :x hehe . (:
