Central Fire Station

The Central Fire Station, also known as the Hill Street Fire Station, is Singapore’s oldest surviving fire station. Completed in 1909, the distinctive red-and-white brick building at 62 Hill Street was gazetted as a national monument by the Preservation of Monuments Board on 18 December 1998. Today, it is still an active station serving an area covering the central business district and Chinatown. It also houses the Civil Defence Heritage Gallery, which showcases the firefighting history of Singapore. The gallery was opened to the public in 2001.
