Description
Central Fire Station, Singapore. 2017.
I decided to sketch this as I love the combination of bricks and concrete, plus the big red gates. ❤️ Most delightful part of this sketch is adding the red. 😅
Singapore does not have fireman. In 1989 the fire service was integrated into the Singapore Civil Defence Force and our civil defence heroes fight fire. 🧑🏽🚒 The hose tower of the building was Singapore’s highest point in the 1920s. Definitely before all the high rise buildings started popping up! The Central Fire Station is still functional. I have seen fire engines (or they are called something else as so much sleeker) coming out of the red gates! There’s a Heritage Gallery in there telling stories of the firefighting in Singapore.
