Fire Station visit

I found out that every Saturday morning, every fire station (except Jurong island) is open for public visit from 9am to 11am.

I've planned this long ago, but because Isabel usually has tuition on Saturday morning, so I've been delaying the visit.

Last Saturday, tuition center was closed. So we headed to the nearest fire station as early as possible.

Mommy took the car to work, so we had to take the bus instead.



Without the comfort of the car, the girls had to walk a distance. Not exactly something they are very used to.


The Sengkang Fire Station is a modern building, if without the words hanging on the facade, I would have thought it would be an office building.

Inside it, we were brought to the waiting area which I think it would be their lecture area for the trainees. There was another family there visiting the station with their young kids. The person in charge brought out toy hats and rain coats for the children.


We get to try an invention by SCDF themselves... The Water Mist Gun aka WMG.


They explained the function and purpose of the Red Rhino. I always thought it looks really cool on the road.

One thing I'm impressed is that the staff's enthusiasm of showing us their equipment. They are not tired of removing them from a neatly packed shelves, and lay them out on the floor to show us the functions of it.

Only thing lack is that they don't say a single word about home fire prevention. Something I feel that is just as important as knowing we can count on them to put out the fire.
